Abstract: According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided, comprising a collaboration analytic module; a display; a memory storing processor-executable process steps; and a collaboration analytic processor coupled to the memory, and in communication with the collaboration analytic module and operative to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to: initiate a collaboration session; receive input at the collaboration session, wherein the collaboration session is integrated with a source of the received input; generate a visualization based on the received input; receive selection from a user of at least one collaborator to participate in the collaboration session; present the visualization on the display, wherein the visualization is viewable by the user and at least one collaborator; receive a manipulation of the visualization; record the manipulation of the visualization; and associate the recorded manipulation with a manipulation source. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Some embodiments are associated with a big data non-relational database storing a substantial number of electronic files, including a set of values for a first parameter. A server may receive information from the big data non-relational database, and an initial transformation may be applied to the set of values for the first parameter resulting in a set of bucket containers, each bucket container storing information consolidating a plurality of values for the first parameter. A visualization transformation may then be applied to the bucket containers to create a set of pixel information to be transmitted to and rendered by a client platform.

Abstract: One or more computers are used as a contextual intelligent assistant for obtaining operating condition information about a power plant, capturing at least two forms of context information about a human operator of the power plant, using the operating condition information and the context information to determine at least two of a type, a modality, a location, and a timing of at least one notification to provide for use in controlling the power plant, and providing the at least one notification to the operator and optionally to other personnel in the power plant for use in operating or maintaining the power plant.
