to ambitious research challenges in many fields, which spans from medical research, financial and
commercial world, to people and environmental monitoring. Whereas traditional data sources and
census fail in capturing actual and up-to-date behaviors, Big Data integrate the missing knowledge
providing useful and hidden information to analysts and decision makers. With this paper, we focus
on the identification of city events by analyzing mobile phone data (Call Detail Record), and we study
and evaluate the impact of these events over the typical city dynamics. We present an analytical
process able to discover, understand and characterize city events from Call Detail Record, designing
a distributed computation to implement Sociometer, that is a profiling tool to categorize phone users.
The methodology provides an useful tool for city mobility manager to manage the events and taking
future decisions on specific classes of users, i.e., residents, commuters and tourists.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
