2017 Workshop on Data Analytics for Mobile Networking - Welcome and Committees
2017
The surge in mobile data traffic - estimated globally at 3.7 exabytes in 2015, with a 74% increase over 2014 and an overall 4,000-fold growth over the past ten years - has fostered the interest of the computer network community towards better understanding the dynamics of the mobile demand. Indeed, a proper characterisation of how mobile services are consumed by subscribers can enable an informed, more efficient tailoring of network resource planning and management to the end users' needs. In addition, mobile traffic data collected by network operators is a rich source of information about human habits, and its analysis provides insights relevant to many fields, including urbanism, transportation, sociology and networking.
