Proportional Optimization and Fairness: Applications 

The problem of allocating resources in proportion to some
measure has been studied in various fields.  The apportionment problem
of allocating seats in a parliament in proportion to the number of
votes obtained by political parties is one example. This presentation
will show a number of other real-life problems, for instance
Liu-Layland problem, stride scheduling, fair queuing which can be
formulated and solved as the problems of proportional optimization and
fairness.
