contact: Haggle human proximity network (2006)
A network of human proximities, as measured by carried wireless devices. Each node represents a person, and an edge denotes when two people were within a certain proximity of each other, as measured by a wireless protocol (Bluetooth or Wifi). The edges are timestamped.
This network has 274 nodes and 28244 edges.

reality_mining: Reality mining proximity network (2004)
A network of human proximities among students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as measured by personal mobile phones. Nodes represent people (students from the Media Lab and the Sloan Business School) and an edge connects a pair if the two devices made a Bluetooth handshake at the time. Edges are timestamped.
This network has 96 nodes and 1086404 edges.
