| Introduction | Mobile
phone datasets have become widely available in recent years and have
opened the possibility to improve our understanding of large-scale
social networks by investigating how people exchange information, build
trust, create markets and develop social interactions. Mobile
phone data is
also helping
us understand complex processes such as the spread of
information and viruses or transportation and the use of urban
infrastructures. This workshop will consist of a number of contributed talks on the analysis of mobile phone networks. The workshop format is flexible: no registration fees, a simplified submission procedure, and the possibility to present recent results or results submitted elsewhere. |

information |
Date:
Tuesday May 11, 2010 (this is the day prior to the conference NetSci). Location: On the sixth floor of the newly built Media Lab (building E14 on MIT campus, map available here). Registration: Attendance is free of charge but, due to limited seating, registration is compulsory. If you wish to register please send an email to netmob@uclouvain.be. Registration will be processed on a first-come first-serve basis. Although there is no registration fee for the workshop, participants are of course encouraged to also participate (and register) in the NetSci conference. We have have received an unexectedly large number of registrations to the workshop. The workshop has been moved to a larger space (the multi media hall of the Media Lab). All those who have registered by sending an email or through the NetSci website are welcome to attend. |
| Submissions | All
contributions that deal with the analysis of mobile phone datasets are
welcome. Authors are invited to submit an abstract (one to three pages) by the deadline of March 5, 2010. Submissions should include the title, author(s), affiliation(s) and e-mail address(es) on the first page. There will be no published proceedings; the material submitted to the workshop may also be submitted elsewhere. Electronic submission of manuscripts in PDF format is required. Please send your manuscript directly to netmob@uclouvain.be by March 5, 2010. The evaluation of submitted abstracts will be organized by the scientific committee and decisions will be made by March 26, 2010. Once an abstract has been accepted for presentation, at least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. In case too many abstracts are selected, some of these may be moved to a special session taking place the next day at the NetSci 2010 conference. |
