One potential breakthrough application of real-time mobile device sensing data is the ability to effect changes in the social systems in real time. This data can come from devices that we carry with us anyway: our cell phones, our name tags, and other computing devices. As we have shown in...

Modern availability of rich geospatial datasets and analysis tools can provide insight germane to the design of field experiments. Design of field experiments, and in particular the choice of sampling strategy, requires careful consideration of its consequences on the external representativity...

We describe how recent advances in wearable sensing technology allow for unprecedented accuracy in studies of human behavior, particularly organizational behavior. We use one such platform, the Sociometric badge, to understand organizational behavior in two studies. In the first, we describe the...

We show how a wearable computing research platform for measuring and analyzing human behavior can be used to understand social systems. Using a wearable sociometric badge capable of automatically measuring the amount of face-to-face interaction, physical proximity to other people, and relative...

U.S. antitrust laws have repeatedly responded to the changing needs of the nation’s economy. As the marketplace grows ever more data-driven, we find ourselves at yet another critical economic juncture that requires us to revisit antitrust practices to ensure healthy and sustainable...
