Abstract

In this paper we discuss a framework to visualize user dynamics in large-scale WLAN traces on the Google Earth interface. The visualization technique helps us to observe the users within the temporal and geographic context, and it is a powerful tool to show case several earlier research results, including user classification and behavior-aware protocol design. We plan to use the visualization tool to help user mobility/encounter pattern prediction in the future.
