我们如何分配稀缺资源？我们如何公平地分配成本？这是当今社会面临的两个紧迫挑战。我将讨论NICTA最近关于资源和成本分配的两个项目。首先，我们一直在与FoodBank Local合作，这是一家与世界各地的食物银行慈善机构合作的社会创业公司，旨在优化收集和分发捐赠食物的物流。在我们分发这些食物之前，我们必须决定如何将它们分配给不同的慈善机构和食品厨房。这就产生了几个新维度的公平划分问题，在文献中很少考虑。第二，我们一直在研究一家大型跨国公司的分销网络中的成本分配。这也有几个在文献中很少考虑的新维度。
How do we allocate scarce resources? How do we fairly allocate costs? These are two pressing challenges facing society today. I discuss two recent projects at NICTA concerning resource and cost allocation. In the first, we have been working with FoodBank Local, a social startup working in collaboration with food bank charities around the world to optimise the logistics of collecting and distributing donated food. Before we can distribute this food, we must decide how to allocate it to different charities and food kitchens. This gives rise to a fair division problem with several new dimensions, rarely considered in the literature. In the second, we have been looking at cost allocation within the distribution network of a large multinational company. This also has several new dimensions rarely considered in the literature.
