Recent years have witnessed an explosion of extensive geolocated datasets related to
human movement, enabling scientists to quantitatively study individual and collective …

In this paper, we review some advances made recently in the study of mobile phone
datasets. This area of research has emerged a decade ago, with the increasing availability …

Here we sketch the rudiments of what constitutes a smart city which we define as a city in
which ICT is merged with traditional infrastructures, coordinated and integrated using new …

Even though human movement and mobility patterns have a high degree of freedom and

Introduced in its contemporary form in 1946 (ref. 1), but with roots that go back to the
eighteenth century 2, the gravity law 1, 3, 4 is the prevailing framework with which to predict …

Link prediction in complex networks has attracted increasing attention from both physical
and computer science communities. The algorithms can be used to extract missing …

Written at an introductory level, and featuring engaging case examples, this book reviews
the theory and practice of personal and egocentric network research. This approach offers …

A range of applications, from predicting the spread of human and electronic viruses to city
planning and resource management in mobile communications, depend on our ability to …

Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

Pervasive infrastructures, such as cell phone networks, enable to capture large amounts of
human behavioral data but also provide information about the structure of cities and their …
