Methods and systems for automated decision support in analyzing operation data from a complex network. Embodiments of the present invention utilize these algorithms and techniques not only to characterize the past and present condition of a complex network, but also to predict future conditions to help operators anticipate deteriorating and/or problem situations. In particular, embodiments of the present invention characterize network conditions from operation data using a state estimator. Contingency scenarios can then be generated based on those network conditions. For at least a portion of all of the contingency scenarios, risk indices are determined that describe the potential impact of each of those scenarios. Contingency scenarios with risk indices are presented visually as graphical representations in the context of a visual representation of the complex network. Analysis of the historical risk indices based on the graphical representations can then provide trends that allow for prediction of future network conditions.       Recently Added Patents MST1 kinase inhibitors and methods of their use Hypothermia devices and methods Methods for deposition of silicon carbide and silicon carbonitride films Microprocessor with first processor for debugging second processor Fluid flow control valve Housing for a charging device Pass/fail tape measure calibrator   Randomly Featured Patents Impedance tuners with resonant probes Power tong System and method for compensation of fuel injector limits Shaft lock device Hand-held speech aid Removal of ectoparasites Optical element Wood preservative Lock capping Reconfigurable interrupt device and method © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
