SocioPatterns Hypertext Conference Contact Network
A ACM Hypertext 2009 conference (Turin, Italy) dataset of 113 nodes and 2,196 edges, collected by SocioPatterns collaboration via RFID proximity sensing. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: True, signed: False, temporal: True. Face-to-face contact network of 113 conference attendees over 2.5 days, captured at 20-second resolution via RFID badges. Canonical dataset for studying conference social dynamics.. Suitable for temporal contact network analysis, community detection, epidemic modeling. The file holds 20,818 contacts, one row per 20-second face-to-face contact; the edge count of 2,196 counts distinct pairs.
