Haggle Human Contact Network
Contacts between people measured by small wireless devices they carried, from the Haggle project (Chaintreau et al.), as distributed by KONECT (contact): 28,244 timestamped contacts among 274 people, forming 2,124 distinct pairs. An edge means two people's devices were within range of each other; timestamps are relative and the records span about four days. Useful for opportunistic networking, temporal network analysis and epidemic modelling on human contact data.
