Tiles
Tiles is a framework to create formal configurations of constraints. Its classes are written in Soda and grouped in packages translated to Scala.
The fairness tiles are defined in package tile (Scala translation) and they use entities and other tools defined in package tool (Scala translation).

Example
This project includes an executable example of Child Care Subsidy pipelines.
The script makeall.sh creates the file tiles, which is an executable JAR file that can be
directly executed in Linux. Its input is a YAML configuration file, like the
configuration file provided for the unit tests. For more details, see the
Child Care Subsidy example.
Resource Allocation Scenarios
These are some of the implemented fairness tiles for resource allocation scenarios:
| Tile | Class | Formerly |
|---|---|---|
| all-agent (a) | AllAgentTile | all-actor |
| (a) accumulates (m) | AccumulatesTile | received |
| (m) all-equal b | AllEqualTile | |
| (a) needs (m) | NeedsTile | needed |
| (m0), (m1) all-at-least b | AllAtLeastTile | |
| equality b | EqualityPipeline | |
| equity b | EquityPipeline |
A specific scenario is given as an example in ResourceAllocationScenarioExample. This scenario is used to test the equality tile with EqualityPipelineSpec and the equity tile with EquityPipelineSpec.
Example of Equality
graph LR
all-agent(all-agent) --> accumulates
accumulates(accumulates) --> all-equal(all-equal)
Example of Equity
graph LR
all-agent(all-agent) --> accumulates
all-agent --> needs
accumulates(accumulates) --> all-at-least(all-at-least)
needs(needs) --> all-at-least
Auxiliary Tiles
The auxiliary tiles are used in the construction of other tiles. Some of the auxiliary tiles are:
| Tile | Class |
|---|---|
| (a) map (m) | MapTile |
| (m0), (m1) σ (m) | SigmaTile |
| (α0), (α1) zip (⟨α0, α1⟩) | ZipTile |
| (⟨α0, α1⟩) unzip-0 (α0) | UnzipPairFstTile |
| (⟨α0, α1⟩) unzip-1 (α1) | UnzipPairSndTile |
