Fourth International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-Scale Measurement, Low Wood Bay, Lake District, UK
31 March 2012 - 31 March 2012
United Kingdom
The Fourth International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-Scale Measurement will take place on 25 June 2012 in Wood Bay, Lake District, UK.
Developing new mobile and opportunistic networking technologies requires access to large-scale data on human mobility and social network patterns. At present, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data. These types of large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines.
Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large internet datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets need to be collected and made available.
The event will be a forum to discuss novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, as well as showcase demonstrations of innovative technology. Topics are set to include:
- methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets;
- techniques for mobility data storage and processing;
- knowledge discovery from mobility data;
- novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets;
- planet-scale data collection infrastructures
- incentive models for encouraging users and businesses;
- enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection;
- regulatory, legal and ethical issues.For further information, please visit: http://www.hotplanetconf.net/(opens in new window)
