Detecting Social Interactions in Working Environments Through Sensing Technologies

Description

The knowledge about social ties among humans is important to optimize several aspects concerning networking in mobile social networks. Generally, ties among people are detected on the base of proximity of people. We discuss here how ties concerning colleagues in an office can be detected by leveraging on a number of sociological markers like co-activity, proximity, speech activity and similarity of locations visited. We present the results from two data gathering campaigns located in Italy and Spain.
