International Conference on Computer Social Science 2017 (ICCSS17)

Description

This dataset contains the sequence of 70910 face-to-face contacts between visitors of the International Conference on Computer Social Science 2017 (ICCSS17) in Cologne, July 10 to 13, 2017. The data collection involved 262 of the 339 conference attendees. Wearable proximity sensors recorded every face-to-face contact between individuals (physical proximity within approximately 1.5m) with a 20-second time resolution. A contact between two individuals is defined as the set of successive time-windows of 20-second during which the individuals are detected in close proximity. In the 'edgelist' element, these records are collected in a relational event sequence with for every contact between a pair of individuals the time of onset and its duration. Time is measured in seconds. The events in the sequence are undirected. Multiple events can occur at the same time point and the individuals can be in contact with multiple other individuals at the same time. Socio-demographic information about the participants (seniority, disciplinary background, country of residence, mother tongue, age, gender, role at conference) was collected through a survey and available in the 'attributes' element.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails Network

Description

This dataset describes the temporal directed network of emails in the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak. Any directed edge in the sequence represents an email sent by one person (the sender) to another one (the recipient). Considering that an email can have any number of recipients, for any email with multiple receivers the single event is splitted into as many dyadic events as the number of recipients in the email. As a consequence of this, the resulting network contains about the double of the emails in the original data.

Usage

Contacts between high school students.

Description

This dataset contains the sequence of 67,613 face-to-face contacts between high school students and their teachers in Marseilles, France from December 2nd until December 6th, 2013. The data collection involved 329 students of nine different classes. Wearable proximity sensors recorded with a 20-second time interval every face-to-face contact between students that was active in the last 20 second window. A contact between two students is defined as the set of successive time-windows of 20 seconds during which the students are detected in contact. In the 'edgelist' element, these records are collected in a relational event sequence with for every contact between a pair of students the time of onset and its duration. Time is measured in seconds. The events in the sequence are undirected. Multiple events can occur at the same time point and the students can be in contact with multiple other students at the same time. On the 4th day of the study, students were asked to report the list of other students they had contact with during the day in the high school and give the approximate aggregated duration of these contacts. In total, 119 students reported on their contacts. The resulting directed reported contact network is available in the 'contacts' element. Moreover, in total 133 students reported the name of their friends in the high school. The resulting directed friendship network is available in the 'friendship' element. Information on whether or not the students are linked on Facebook is available in the 'facebook' element. Information on the gender and class of the students is available in the 'attributes' element.

Contacts between patients and health-care workers.

Description

This dataset contains the sequence of 14037 face-to-face contacts between patients, patients and health-care workers and between health-care workers in a hospital ward in Lyon, France, from Monday, December 6, 2010 at 1:00 pm to Friday, December 10, 2010 at 2:00 pm. The data collection involved 29 patients and 46 health-care workers. Wearable proximity sensors recorded with a 20-second time interval every face-to-face contact between individuals that was active in the last 20 second window. A contact between two individuals is defined as the set of successive time-windows of 20 seconds during which the individuals are detected in contact. In the 'edgelist' element, these records are collected in a relational event sequence with for every contact between a pair of individuals the time of onset and its duration. Time of the events is expressed in seconds since onset of the study period. The events in the sequence are undirected. Multiple events can occur at the same time point and the individuals can be in contact with multiple other individuals at the same time. Information on the statuses of the individuals is available in the 'attributes' element.

Interactions between members of 5 Kenyan households

Description

This dataset contains five sequences with the interactions between the members of five households of rural Kenya. The households are named 'E', 'F', 'L', 'H' and 'B'. Each of the five households was followed for three days between April 24 and May 12, 2012. During these three days, wearable proximity sensors recorded every face-to-face interaction among the members of the households. Members of households L, F and E wore the sensors during partly overlapping time windows. In the 'edgelist' elements of 'households', the proximity records are collected in a relational event sequence with for every contact between a pair of individuals the time of onset in hours since the start of the study period for the respective household and its duration in seconds. Only contact events recorded between 6am and 8pm are reported. The number of recorded interactions is 13473 among 17 members for household E, 1397 among 8 members for household F, 1365 among 6 members for household L, 10376 among 29 members for household H, and 5814 among 15 members for household B. The events in the sequence are undirected. Multiple events can occur at the same time point and the individuals can be in contact with multiple other individuals at the same time. In the 'attributes' elements of 'households', information on the age and the sex of the individuals is provided.

Manufacturing emails Network

Description

Internal email communication network between employees of a mid-sized manufacturing company in the period from 2010-01-01 to 2010-09-30. Any directed edge in the sequence represents an email sent by one person (the sender) to another one (the recipient). Considering that an email can have any number of recipients, for any email with multiple receivers the single event is splitted into as many dyadic events as the number of recipients in the email. Additional information about who in the company reports to whom is also available.

Interactions between members of a research team

Description

This dataset contains the sequence of 11,607 interactions between nine members of a research team. The dataset is part of the GEDII project, a project with the aim to develop new tools and methods for doing research on the impact of gender diversity in research & development teams. Eight teams have been participating in the GEDII case studies, the current data set contains data of 'team 4'. This research team works in the field of biomedical engineering in a public research center. Sociometric badges recorded every interaction between the team members for five consecutive days. The dataset contains both face-to-face interactions detected with infrared sensors and proximity data detected with bluetooth sensors. To create the relational event history in the 'edgelist' element, an event between a pair of team members is defined as the set of seconds during which the members are detected in contact, while they are not in the preceding nor in the next 25 second time window. The events in the sequence are undirected. Multiple events can occur at the same time point and the team members can be in contact with multiple other team members at the same time. Information on the gender, age, educational level, tenure and role of the individual within the team is available in the 'attributes' element. Moreover, the advice seeking network and friendship network for the team members is available in the 'advice' and 'social' elements.
