- Using the "80-20 rule" to help set priorities
- In a previous blog, Joe Rosberg discussed the "importance vs. urgency" matrix, as explained by Steven Covey. Another useful tool for setting priorities is the "80-20" rule. I first learned about it years ago, from a book entitled How to Get Control of Your Time and...

- Use Pareto Analysis to attack complex problems
- Use Pareto Analysis to attack complex problemsarticle rootThe 80/20 Rule isn't Pareto AnalysisProject Managers often claim that the use of the 80/20 rule is "Pareto Analysis". However, to quote Wikipedia on this subject:"Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is a central theory in economics [stating that] .... Given a set...

- Use Pareto Analysis to attack complex problems
- Instead of addressing project problems as they crop up, you can use Pareto Analysis to spend your time more wisely. A few years ago, I was observing the implementation of a major Enterprise Resource Planning ERP implementation. The implementation team knew that there would be problems--hundreds of...

- Optimal Throughput Allocation in General Random-Access Networks
- This paper considers a model for random-access communication in networks of arbitrary topology. The authors characterize the efficient Pareto boundary of the network throughput region as the family of solutions optimizing weighted proportional fairness objective, parameterized by link weights. Based on this characterization a general distributed scheme is proposed that...

- Energy-Delay Tradeoffs for Data Collection in TDMA-Based Sensor Networks
- This paper considers a wireless sensor network where the nodes have limited energy. The paper first analyzes the delay performance of a transmission scheme based on time division multiple access TDMA. A simple link scheduling algorithm is proposed to find the minimum-delay schedule given the slot lengths for all the...

- Generalized Proportional Fair Scheduling in Third Generation Wireless Data Networks
- In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. However, so far, proportional fairness has been applied at each base station independently. Such an approach can result in non-Pareto optimal bandwidth...

- Fuzzy Green: A Modified TCP Equation-Based Active Queue Management Using Fuzzy Logic Approach
- Congestion control provides quality of service over the best effort networks. Congestion occurred when arrival rate to a router is greater than its departure rate. In this paper, using fuzzy logic approach, a modified TCP equation-based active queue management mechanism is proposed which is based on traditional GREEN algorithm. The...
