Simulating human mobility is important in mobile networks because many mobile devices
are either attached to or controlled by humans and it is very hard to deploy real mobile …

Many empirical studies of human walks have reported that there exist fundamental statistical
features commonly appearing in mobility traces taken in various mobility settings. These …

A mobility model is used to generate the trajectories of mobile nodes in simulations when
developing new algorithms for mobile networks. A model must realistically reflect the …

Forwarding in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) is a challenging problem. We focus on the
specific issue of forwarding in an environment where mobile devices are carried by people …

Assessing mobility in a thorough fashion is a crucial step toward more efficient mobile
network design. Recent research on mobility has focused on two main points: analyzing …

This paper reports that bursty hot spot sizes are a key factor in causing the heavy-tail
distribution of flights in human walks. A heavy-tailed distribution of flights is a signature …

Understanding human mobility is important for the development of intelligent mobile service
robots as it can provide prior knowledge and predictions of human distribution for robot …

There is an increasing consensus that existing mobility models, such as the well-known
random walk or random waypoint models, are insufficient to represent real node mobility. In …

Wildlife monitoring is an enormous organizational challenge due to the required time and
effort for setting and maintaining it. It is particularly difficult when the observed species has a …

Accurate reproduction of real human movement patterns is necessary in simulations of
mobile ad hoc networks in order to obtain meaningful performance results. Human activities …
