the study of social mobility is part of urban studies. iranian sociological investigations do not reflect much about the problem of women’s social mobility; while understanding the dynamics of women’s mobility and its extent can help in planning and policy-making within the framework of social studies. the present research probes into women’s inter-generation social mobility in an iranian urban...

Simulating human mobility is important in mobile networks because many mobile devices are either attached to or controlled by humans and it is very hard to deploy real mobile networks whose size is controllably scalable for performance evaluation. Lately various measurement studies of human walk traces have discovered several significant statistical patterns of human mobility. Namely these incl...

SOME AGENT PROPERTIES. vanishing agents or nodes in the agent system. Given these requirements, agents are constantly facing a problem of deciding where to go and with whom to work with. These two decisions, pertaining to mobility and interaction, have been singled out as fundamental of even aeent svstem. We B. Aaents I . " . " present an algorithm targeted at these two decisions while it fulfi...

Mobility models are widely used in the simulation-based performance analysis of mobile networks. However, there is a trade-off between simple parametrization and realistic movement patterns. Synthetic models like the random waypoint and random direction model are simple to implement, but they only provide unrealistic simple user sojourn densities and traffic flows. In contrast, graphor trip-bas...

BACKGROUND Uncovering the mechanism behind the scaling laws and series of anomalies in human trajectories is of fundamental significance in understanding many spatio-temporal phenomena. Recently, several models, e.g. the explorations-returns model (Song et al., 2010) and the radiation model for intercity travels (Simini et al., 2012), have been proposed to study the origin of these anomalies an...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a special case of opportunistic network where nodes are moving vehicles communicating together through short range wireless transmission. VANET applications vary from safety and accident avoidance to leisure and entertainment. The data dissemination routine differs according to the delay tolerance of the application. The bandwidth usage of the application is ...

Current agent mobility models are based on random movement. This means that the probability that a particular agent will be at a particular place is the same over the whole network. In contrast, we are trying to simulate an agent movement that reflects more realistically the distribution of vehicles in an urban street network. This can be achieved by moving away from the problem of an equal pro...

Existing generative mobility models, used to produce mobility data for simulated agents in, e.g., wireless network simulations, suffer from a number of limitations. Most significantly, existing models are not representative of actual human movement. We introduce a new mobility model based on state-of-the-art work in understanding pedestrian mobility patterns in urban areas, known as Space Synta...
