Patent number: 11888698Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product to manage a network comprising a plurality of interconnected components are described. The method includes obtaining a set of all the components that are part of the network over time, and identifying one or more repeating patterns of components among the set of all the components as corresponding lower-level definitions to generate a hierarchical set of all the components. The method also includes obtaining time-varying information regarding topology and operational values within the network, and creating a representation of the network at a set of times based on the hierarchical set of all the components and the time-varying information.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Utopous Insights, Inc.Inventors: Ulrich A. Finkler, Fook-Luen Heng, Steven N. Hirsch, Mark A. Lavin, Jun Mei Qu, Amith Singhee, Wei Wu
