1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Overview of Work Performed  R3.1  Repository of traces  Chair: Javier Aracil (UAM)  The goal is to go further and correlate traffic patterns with socio-economical events  Leverage these traces in order to develop a methodology to understand how Internet traffic correlates with Internet usage and profits  Development of a Facebook application (CNR)  for collecting quantitative figures about users’ interactions  Ultimate goal: quantitative figures (i.e., measurable quantities) to derive models of the strength of social ties between users e.g., to automatically characterise the levels of trust, possibilities for cooperation/sharing of resources, … M.
