Exploring Machine-Mediated Social Interaction Mesh from a Network Science Perspective

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed research program investigates properties of the mesh of social interaction facilitated by the increasingly prevalent mobile devices and smart gadgets, which are capable of data communication through infrastructure and directly between themselves. The objective is to provide an understanding of the robustness and data-carrying capacity of such a multi-modal, time-varying, complex network. The solutions produced in this research will constitute an intermediary between the IT sector and other disciplines, such as public health and social network studies, for collaborative research.
