Friendship and Mobility: User Movement In Location-Based Social Networks

by Eunjoon Cho, Seth A. Myers, Jure Leskovec
"... Even though human movement and mobility patterns have a high degree of freedom and variation, they also exhibit structural patterns due to geographic and social constraints. Using cell phone location data, as well as data from two online location-based social networks, we aim to understand what basi ..."

Learning Significant Locations and Predicting User Movement with GPS

by Daniel Ashbrook, Thad Starner , 2002
"... Wearable computers have the potential to act as intelligent agents in everyday life and assist the user in a variety of tasks depending on the context. Location is the most common form of context used by these agents to determine the user's task. However, another potential use is the creation o ..."

of a predictive model of the user's future movements. We present a system that automatically clusters GPS data taken over an extended period of time into meaningful locations at multiple scales. These locations are then incorporated into a Markov model that can be consulted for use with a variety

Tangible bits: towards seamless interfaces between people, bits and atoms

by Hiroshi Ishii, Brygg Ullmer - Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems, ACM Press: 234--241 , 1997
"... This paper presents our vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits. " Tangible Bits allows users to "grasp & manipulate " bits in the center of users’ attention by coupling the bits with everyday physical objects and architectural surfaces. Tangible Bits also ..."

enables users to be aware of background bits at the periphery of human perception using ambient display media such as light, sound, airflow, and water movement in an augmented space. The goal of Tangible Bits is to bridge the gaps between both cyberspace and the physical environment, as well

A Survey of Mobility Models for Ad Hoc Network Research

by Tracy Camp , Jeff Boleng, Vanessa Davies - WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS & MOBILE COMPUTING (WCMC): SPECIAL ISSUE ON MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKING: RESEARCH, TRENDS AND APPLICATIONS , 2002
"... In the performance evaluation of a protocol for an ad hoc network, the protocol should be tested under realistic conditions including, but not limited to, a sensible transmission range, limited buffer space for the storage of messages, representative data traffic models, and realistic movements of t ..."

of the mobile users (i.e., a mobility model). This paper is a survey of mobility models that are used in the simulations of ad hoc networks. We describe several mobility models that represent mobile nodes whose movements are independent of each other (i.e., entity mobility models) and several mobility models

Group formation in large social networks: membership, growth, and evolution

by Lars Backstrom, Dan Huttenlocher, Jon Kleinberg, Xiangyang Lan - IN KDD ’06: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 12TH ACM SIGKDD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY AND DATA MINING , 2006
"... The processes by which communities come together, attract new members, and develop over time is a central research issue in the social sciences — political movements, professional organizations, and religious denominations all provide fundamental examples of such communities. In the digital domain, ..."

On the User Profiles and the Prediction of User Movements in Wireless Networks

by Fazli Erbas, Kyandoghere Kyamakya, Oghere Kyamakya, Klaus Jobmann, Jan Steuer , 2002
"... Mobile positioning and related user profiles supported control of wireless networks will become a key role in future network optimisation and applications with upcoming location services. In this paper we describe a movement prediction scheme based on user profiles involving a mobile-device-based po ..."

Efficient mining of group patterns from user movement data

by Yida Wang , Ee-peng Lim , San-yih Hwang , 2006
"... In this paper, we present a new approach to derive groupings of mobile users based on their movement data. We assume that the user movement data are collected by logging location data emitted from mobile devices tracking users. We formally define group pattern as a group of users that are within a d ..."
