Toward large-scale and dynamic social network analysis with heterogeneous sensors in ambient environment

In this paper, we present our vision on largescale and dynamic social network analysis in real environment, which is expected to be enabled by introduction of large-scale heterogeneous sensors in ambient environment. We address challenges toward realization of large-scale dynamic social network analysis in real environment, and discuss several promising applications. We finally present our preliminary experimental results of dynamic social network analysis for six-person social gatherings in real environment. Keywords-Social network; ambient environment;
