Abstract: A computer-implemented system for determining the effect of a change is a utility system based on streamed meter data is described. The system includes a metering analytics system configured to receive a stream of meter data received from sensors in or in proximity with utility meters in a utility monitoring system, the meter data being generated by the sensors and a central event management system for identifying an effect of modification to the utility monitoring system in the streamed meter data based on a plurality of sequential meter reads in the streamed meter data. The central event management system is configured to receive a change notification including change time, identify a meter associated with the change notification, monitor read messages in the streamed meter data to identify a first read message for a watched meter received following the change time, and determine a change effect for the meter based on at least a second read message in the streamed meter data.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, one or more computer processors create update commands that describe a state change of a resource and include the update commands in a change event for the resource in a change log. Embodiments of the present invention can obviate the need for an indexer to retrieve all triples of a changed resource via HTTP GET requests, and obviate the need for the indexer to replace all triples of a prior version of a changed resource with newly obtained triples.

Abstract: In a method for utilizing multiple social computing services of a user. A processor receives a request for an action to be executed, wherein the action includes a required relationship between a user and one or more contacts of a set of contacts and a required interest. A processor determines the one or more contacts that have the required relationship with the user and the required interest. A processor causes the action to be executed based on the determined one or more contacts. The set of contacts includes a first set of contacts from a first networking service and a second set of contacts from a second networking service. The action is external from the first networking service and the second networking service.

Abstract: In a method for utilizing multiple social computing services of a user, a processor accesses a first networking service of a user and a second networking service of the user, wherein the first networking service includes a first group of contacts connected with the user and the second networking service includes a second group of contacts connected with the user. A processor retrieves the first group from the first networking service and the second group from the second networking service. A processor creates a set of contacts, wherein the set of contacts includes each contact of the first group of contacts with a corresponding link to information about that contact, and each contact of the second group of contacts with a corresponding link to information about that contact, and wherein a contact of the set of contacts has an associated relationship, established externally from either networking service, with the user.
