Abstract: A computer implemented method implemented on a computer system includes non-transient memory storing instructions for configuring a plurality of district metering areas within a utility supply network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented data management system for sensor-centric data management is shown. The management system includes a metering analytics system configured to receive and store meter data received from sensors in or in proximity with utility meters, the meter data being generated by the sensors. The management system further includes a sensor-centric database for storing sensor data according to a sensor identifier, the sensor data describing the sensor associated with the sensor identifier. The database includes a data exchange interface configured to receive a transaction for storage in the sensor-centric database including a record of sensor data and an “assert” or “retract” operation type.

Abstract: A computer implemented method implemented on a computer system includes non-transient memory storing instructions for configuring a plurality of district metering areas within a utility supply network. The method includes identifying a plurality of flow measurement devices, wherein each flow measurement device is connected by a directional connection to at least one other flow measurement device, generating a utility supply network representation based on the directional connections between the flow measurement devices, and generating a plurality of district metering areas for the utility supply network representation, each district metering area being a directed acyclic graph based on the directional connections and including a subset of the plurality of flow measuring devices and including at least one flow measurement device designated as a supply meter and at least one flow measurement device designated as a demand meter.
