BACKGROUND: The new generation networks (5G and beyond) will allow us to collect and process real-time information about a user and his context. Analyzing the adolescents’ behaviour and taking into account relations between their psychological frailty and socio-cultural context, it is possible to highlight situations of vulnerability. OBJECTIVE: It is crucial to shed light on how the nature of social relationships and the similarity among individuals play a role in the collective dynamics. METHODS: To understand these dynamics, Evolutionary Game Theory and the analysis of social networks, modeled as multiplex networks, are useful. RESULTS: Thanks to a simulative approach we evaluate the emergence and maintenance of cooperation within a class, assessing the role of social network structure and of the homophily on the dynamics. CONCLUSION: Exploiting these tools it is possible to design innovative ICT context-aware services based on collective cooperation and aimed at improving social inclusion, education and support for frail people.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The new generation networks (5G and beyond) will allow us to collect and process real-time information about a user and his context. Analyzing the adolescents’ behaviour and taking into account relations between their psychological frailty and socio-cultural context, it is possible to highlight situations of vulnerability. OBJECTIVE: It is crucial to shed light on how the nature of social relationships and the similarity among individuals play a role in the collective dynamics. METHODS: To understand these dynamics, Evolutionary Game Theory and the analysis of social networks, modeled as multiplex networks, are useful. RESULTS: Thanks to a simulative approach we evaluate the emergence and maintenance of cooperation within a class, assessing the role of social network structure and of the homophily on the dynamics. CONCLUSION: Exploiting these tools it is possible to design innovative ICT context-aware services based on collective cooperation and aimed at improving social inclusion, education and support for frail people.
