Predicting party switching through machine learning and open data

Parliament dynamics might seem erratic at times. Predicting future voting patterns could support policy design based on the simulation of voting scenarios. The availability of open data on legislative activities and machine learning tools might enable such ...

A cross-layer design of wireless ad-hoc networks

We consider a cross-layer design of wireless ad-hoc networks. Traditional networking approaches optimize separately each of the three layers: physical layer, medium access and routing. This may lead to largely suboptimal network designs. In this work, we p ...

A Note on the Fairness of Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Patrick Thiran, Paul Hurley

Some recent papers [KMT97, MR98] have shown that congestion control based on additive increase and multiplicative decrease tends to share bandwidth according to proportional fairness. Proportional fairness is a form of fairness which distributes bandwidth ...

How (Un)Fair are the ABR Binary Schemes, Actually?

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

It is well known that a simple binary feedback rate--based congestion avoidance scheme cannot ensure a fairness goal of the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service, namely, max--min fairness. In this paper we show how the rates are distributed for the network con ...
