Intro
The topology of this online world can be expressed as a network, where sectors are nodes and wormholes are links between these sectors. A second type of link, the X-hole, links distant sectors, thus giving the universe a small-world property. Players live and move in this environment. For a fixed time for each day and each of the 10^4-10^5 players, we know their locations. (All data is fully anonymized!)
Tasks
- Extract data of universe
- Bring topology data in network format (adjacency list / sparse matrix)
- Visualize network, e.g. in PAJEK
- Extract mobility data of players
- Bring them in reasonable format (time-series). E.g. Time-series of daily hops.
- Analyze data
- Formulate research questions
