Community Detection of Time-Varying Mobile Social Networks

  • Conference paper
Complex Sciences (Complex 2009)

Abstract

In this paper, we present our ongoing work on developing a framework for detecting time-varying communities on human mobile networks. We define the term community in environments where the mobility patterns and clustering behaviors of individuals vary in time. This work provides a method to describe, analyze, and compare the clustering behaviors of collections of mobile entities, and how they evolve over time.
