A new high-resolution social network dataset for a primary school

Published: January 3, 2015

We have just published a new paper in BMC Infectious Diseases where we compare different strategies for epidemic mitigation in a primary school and investigate the performance of targeted class-closure interventions.

In the Supplementary Information of the paper, we release a dataset on the face-to-face interactions in a primary school, measured by using wearable proximity sensors. The dataset covers over 200 persons (students and teachers) for about 2 days, and provides not only a complex temporal network, but also the ground truth for communities, i.e., a school class attribute for all nodes in the network. Enjoy!
