Abstract

This chapter discusses the limitations of the models we have discussed throughout the book, and uses these limitations to characterize challenging future research directions. In doing so, we discuss the relation of the models we have considered to practice, and their potential for use in practical applications. We also consider the potential for expanding the definition of demand flexibility, as well as the technical difficulties inherent in meeting the challenges implied by potential future research avenues.
