We propose a prototype for a real-world, human
network proximity experiment with detailed recordings of the
position of individuals. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive
dataset to investigate the internal correlations between mobility
and network properties, as well as to compare our results with
different datasets, involving different social groups or mobile
agents. As a further result, we expect the capability to formulate
a model able to evaluate the relative importance of location and
network centrality for efficient delay tolerant networks, with the
added benefit of being able to synthesise realistic trace data for
simulation.
