【 摘 要 】

The emergence of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) has culminated ina new generation of wireless networking. New communication paradigms, which use dynamic interconnectedness as people encounter each other opportunistically, lead towards a world where digital traffic flows more easily. We focus on human tohuman communication in environments that exhibit the characteristics of so cial networks. This paper describes our study of information flow during epidemic spread in such dynamic human networks, a topic which shares many issues with networkbased epidemiology. We explore hub nodes extracted from real world connectivity traces and show their influence on the epidemic to demonstrate the characteristics of information propagation.
