The system aims to capture interactions of human subjects for the study of infectious disease spread. We describe unique challenges posed by a large-scale network that is heavily affected by humans. We present techniques to address challenges such as frequent node reboots and global timestamps. The end result of the deployment is a dataset of 792 traces which can be used to calculate the school population's contact network and the rough location where interactions occurredExperiences in measuring a human contact network for epidemiology researchtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
