WiFi Access Points (APs) can be used to offload data or computation tasks while users are commuting. However, due APs’ limited coverage, offloading performance is heavily impacted by the users’ mobility. This work proposes leverage human mobility inform tasks, taking a based approach leveraging granular datasets from two cities: Porto and Beijing. We define Offloading Regions (ORs...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of new methods of management on creativity, self-efficiency and mobility of human resources in sport organizations. all top managers and heads of sport and youth office (sports bodies) in the province participated in this study. 37 top managers and 176 presidents and vice presidents of sports bodies were randomly selected as the sample. the multi-...

In the last decade, scientists from different disciplines discovered a great heterogeneity in human mobility ranges, since a power law characterizes the distribution of the characteristic distance traveled by individuals, the so-called radius of gyration. The origin of such heterogeneity, however, still remains unclear. In this paper, we analyze two mobility datasets and observe that an individ...

Individual human trajectories are characterized by fat-tailed distributions of jump sizes and waiting times, suggesting the relevance of continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) models for human mobility. However, human traces are barely random. Given the importance of human mobility, from epidemic modelling to traffic prediction and urban planning, we need quantitative models that can account for th...

Human mobility is a key factor in spatial disease dynamics and related phenomena. In computational models host mobility is typically modeled by diffusion in space or on metapolulation networks. Alternatively, an effective force of infection across distance has been introduced to capture spatial dispersal implicitly. Both approaches do not account for important aspects of natural human mobility,...

In the last 10 years, new paradigms for wireless networks based on human mobility have gained the attention of the research community. These paradigms, usually referred to as Pocket Switched Networks or Delay Tolerant Networks, jointly exploit human mobility and store-and-forward communications to improve the connectivity in sparse or isolated networks. Clearly, understanding the human mobility...

We conduct a statistical study of human mobility using over 1000 hours of GPS traces of human walks involving 44 participants in five different locations, two university campuses, state fair, New York City, and Disney World. Our data reveals statistical features similar to those in what physicists have long called Levy random walks (or Levy walks). These features include heavy-tail distribution...
