  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • ABSTRACT INTELLIGENT SIMULINK MODELING ASSISTANCE VIA MODEL CLONES and MACHINE LEARNING by Bhisma Adhikari Source Code Auto-Comp
    ABSTRACT INTELLIGENT SIMULINK MODELING ASSISTANCE VIA MODEL CLONES AND MACHINE LEARNING by Bhisma Adhikari Source code auto-completion has been pursued extensively by the research community, and has benefited software engineering to a great extent. In contrast, analogous research in Model Driven Engineering (MDE), that is, model auto-completion has not been explored as extensively. As a result, there does not exist sufficient MDE tooling that allows for automatic completion of models. This thesis aims to fill that gap by developing a prototype modeling assistant for Simulink using Simone as the underlying model clone detector and machine learning algorithms. The modeling assistant provides two types of suggestions: (1) Simulink block-level suggestions, and (2) Simulink (sub)system-level suggestions, to help modelers auto-complete or extend their Simulink models. It uses machine learning algorithms to produce block-level suggestions and model clone detection to produce (sub)system-level suggestions. Simulink and Simone are chosen over other tools due to their greater maturity and wider adoption. Although this prototype modeling assistant is developed specifically for Simulink, the results and knowledge gained from this research are extendable to any modeling environment for which a text-based model clone detector is available.
