Abstract

This paper presents three novel means of collecting and analyzing data to generate contact graphs of personal social networks. The means of collection include a web based service, an RFID system, and a network application running on a wireless sensor network. Data generated from networks of personal contact are demonstrated to be of utility in estimating the potential of the spread of a infection such as would be associated with the recent outbreak of H1N1 influenza.
