Over the past two decades, complex network theory provided the ideal framework for
investigating the intimate relationships between the topological properties characterizing the …

Given their importance in sha** social networks and determining how information or
transmissible diseases propagate in a population, interactions between individuals are the …

Background Digital networks, mobile devices, and the possibility of mining the ever-
increasing amount of digital traces that we leave behind in our daily activities are changing …

The past few years have seen intensive research efforts carried out in some apparently
unrelated areas of dynamic systems–delay-tolerant networks, opportunistic-mobility …

Technological advances have led to a strong increase in the number of data collection
efforts aimed at measuring co-presence of individuals at different spatial resolutions. It is …

Many natural and artificial networks evolve in time. Nodes and connections appear and
disappear at various time scales, and their dynamics has profound consequences for any …

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are networks of self-organizing wireless nodes, where end-
to-end connectivity is intermittent. In these networks, forwarding decisions are generally …

Most children first enter social groups of peers in preschool. In this context, children use
movement as a social tool, resulting in distinctive proximity patterns in space and synchrony …

We present a modeling framework for dynamical and bursty contact networks made of
agents in social interaction. We consider agents' behavior at short time scales in which the …

The recent availability of data describing social networks is changing our understanding of
the “microscopic structure” of a social tie. A social tie indeed is an aggregated outcome of …
