Micro dynamics of social interactions — •Sune Lehmann — Technical University of Denmark, Kgs Lyngby, Denmark

Over the past decade, we have made tremendous progress in understanding the complex networks in the world around us. In terms of social systems, we have recently developed the technological ability to measure the dynamics such networks with unprecedented accuracy, using smartphones as sensors.

For the past two years, my group has worked towards creating a dataset of unparalleled quality and size. We use smartphones as measurement devices to capture the complete network (face-to-face, telecommunication, online social networks, geolocation, etc) in a group of approximately 1000 individuals. In terms of size, this increases the number of study participants by a full order of magnitude compared to similar studies in the field.

I'll give an overview of our ongoing work with a particular focus on spreading processes as well as communities in face-to-face networks.
