Gender-Based Grouping of Mobile Student Societies

The next frontier for sensor networks is sensing the human society. Several mobile societies are emerging, especially with wide deployment of Wireless LANs (WLANs) on campuses. With the rapid increase in WLAN deployment come various research challenges. WLAN traces pertaining to network usage contain very useful information and can provide them with a lot of insight about mobile user behavior and network usage. Such insight may be used to design better future networks, and analyze the effect of social attributes on usage of mobile technology. The most extensive libraries of wireless traces are collected from university campuses. The traces are anonymized and do not provide affiliation or preference information explicitly.
