Demand response (DR) programs are interesting ways to attract consumers participation in order to improve the electric consumption patterns. DR programs motivate customers to change the consumption patterns in response to price changes. This could be done by paying incentives or considering penalties either when wholesale market prices are high or when network reliability is at risk. The overall purpose of implementing DR programs is to improve the network reliability and reduce the costs. Successful implementation of these programs requires prerequisites, which without them, there is no guarantee of the success of these programs. Different sciences have proposed various scientific solutions for creating optimal power consumption behavior in customers, such as solutions based on the technical and economic aspects. Although each of these solutions might be efficient and effective, they could not cover all the aspects of the solutions. The results of studies conducted by many researchers show that in addition to the technical and economic issues, social, cultural, and behavioral factors are also very important. Therefore, in this paper, cultural, social, and behavioral aspects are investigated and analyzed as one of the vital requirements for better implementation of DR.

Research has repeatedly demonstrated the influence of social connection and communication on convergence in cultural tastes, opinions and ideas. Here we review recent studies and consider the implications of social connection on cultural, epistemolog
ical and ideological contraction, then formalize these intuitions within the language of information theory. To systematically examine connectivity and cultural diversity, we introduce new methods of manifold learning to map both social networks and topic combinations into comparable, two-dimensional hyperbolic spaces or Poincare disks, which represent both hierarchy and diversity within a system. On a Poincare disk, radius from center traces the position of an actor in a social hierarchy or an idea in a cultural hierarchy. The angle of the disk required to inscribe connected actors or ideas captures their diversity. Using this method in the epistemic culture of 21st Century physics, we empirically demonstrate that denser university collaborations systematically contract the space of topics discussed and ideas investigated more than shared topics drive collaboration, despite the extreme commitments academic physicists make to research programs over the course of their careers. Dense connections unleash flows of communication that contract otherwise fragmented semantic spaces into convergent hubs or polarized clusters. We theorize the dynamic interplay between structural expansion and cultural contraction and explore how this introduces an essential tension between the enjoyment and protection of difference.
In studies of cultural differentiation, the joint mechanisms of homophily and influence have been able to explain how distinct cultural groups can form. While these mechanisms normally lead to cultural convergence, increased levels of heterogeneity c
an allow them to produce global diversity. However, this emergent cultural diversity has proven to be unstable in the face of cultural drift- small errors or innovations that allow cultures to change from within. We develop a model of cultural differentiation that combines the traditional mechanisms of homophily and influence with a third mechanism of 2network homophily, in which network structure co-evolves with cultural interaction. We show that if social ties are allowed to change with cultural influence, a complex relationship between heterogeneity and cultural diversity is revealed, in which increased heterogeneity can reduce cultural group formation while simultaneously increasing social connectedness. Our results show that in certain regions of the parameter space these co-evolutionary dynamics can lead to patterns of cultural diversity that are stable in the presence of cultural drift.
Inspired by the analysis of several empirical online social networks, we propose a simple reaction-diffusion-like coevolving model, in which individuals are activated to create links based on their states, influenced by local dynamics and their own i
ntention. It is shown that the model can reproduce the remarkable properties observed in empirical online social networks; in particular, the assortative coefficients are neutral or negative, and the power law exponents are smaller than 2. Moreover, we demonstrate that, under appropriate conditions, the model network naturally makes transition(s) from assortative to disassortative, and from sparse to dense in their characteristics. The model is useful in understanding the formation and evolution of online social networks.
Current models for opinion dynamics typically utilize a Poisson process for speaker selection, making the waiting time between events exponentially distributed. Human interaction tends to be bursty, though, having higher probabilities of either extre
mely short waiting times or long periods of silence. To quantify the burstiness effects on the dynamics of social models, we place in competition two groups exhibiting different speakers waiting-time distributions. These competitions are implemented in the binary Naming Game, and show that the relevant aspect of the waiting-time distribution is the density of the head rather than that of the tail. We show that even with identical mean waiting times, a group with a higher density of short waiting times is favored in competition over the other group. This effect remains in the presence of nodes holding a single opinion that never changes, as the fraction of such committed individuals necessary for achieving consensus decreases dramatically when they have a higher head density than the holders of the competing opinion. Finally, to quantify differences in burstiness, we introduce the expected number of small-time activations and use it to characterize the early-time regime of the system.
Networks are well-established representations of social systems, and temporal networks are widely used to study their dynamics. Temporal network data often consist in a succession of static networks over consecutive time windows whose length, however
, is arbitrary, not necessarily corresponding to any intrinsic timescale of the system. Moreover, the resulting view of social network evolution is unsatisfactory: short time windows contain little information, whereas aggregating over large time windows blurs the dynamics. Going from a temporal network to a meaningful evolving representation of a social network therefore remains a challenge. Here we introduce a framework to that purpose: transforming temporal network data into an evolving weighted network where the weights of the links between individuals are updated at every interaction. Most importantly, this transformation takes into account the interdependence of social relationships due to the finite attention capacities of individuals: each interaction between two individuals not only reinforces their mutual relationship but also weakens their relationships with others. We study a concrete example of such a transformation and apply it to several data sets of social interactions. Using temporal contact data collected in schools, we show how our framework highlights specificities in their structure and temporal organization. We then introduce a synthetic perturbation into a data set of interactions in a group of baboons to show that it is possible to detect a perturbation in a social group on a wide range of timescales and parameters. Our framework brings new perspectives to the analysis of temporal social networks.
