Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for systems and methods facilitating simulation of metering devices in an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) deployment. Meter simulators are executed in a simulation application, and a user can initiate a simulation based upon various operational scenario the user desires to simulate.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for validating and filtering events related to an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployment. Events received from a vendor supplied AMI head-end can be validated by an AMI event filtering application, which can then store the validated event in a data store. The AMI event filtering application can also generate and publish destination filtered and/or composite events based at least upon destination filters and/or composite events defined in the data store. Subscribing systems can receive the destination filtered and/or composite events.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a dynamic work queue for applications. A message queue is included in a data store accessible to one or more computing devices. One or more network pages are generated in the one or more computing devices indicating which ones of multiple services are configured to obtain and process messages for an application from the queue. Each of the services is executed on a respective one of multiple servers. A request is obtained from a client to configure one or more of the services to obtain and process messages for the application from the queue. The one or more of the services are configured to obtain and process messages for the application from the queue in response to the request.
