Abstract
A system includes a physical server that is configured to be operatively coupled to a communications system and to connect with a plurality of clients. The physical server is further configured to provide an application programming interface (API) that enables the plurality of clients to communicatively couple to each other via the communications system, an operator system to place a conference call to the plurality of clients and the plurality of clients to send and to receive status updates for a smart grid system via the communications system. The physical server is also configured to monitor a status of calls between connected clients of the plurality of clients and broadcast a global state update to the connected clients.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a physical server configured to operatively couple to a communications system included in an infrastructure system, to at least one client, and to a database repository, wherein the physical server is configured to; provide a conferencing service to the at least one client via the communications system; receive a first status update of the infrastructure system from the communications system; receive a second status update of the infrastructure system from the at least one client; and transmit the first status update and the second status update to the database repository; wherein the database repository is configured to; update a global state of the infrastructure system based on the first status update and the second status update; transmit the global state update to a second database repository; and transmit the global state update to the physical server; and wherein the at least one client is configured to; display a state of the infrastructure system; display a plurality of users and a user status for each of the plurality of users, wherein the user status for each of the plurality of users comprises a log-in status for a respective user, a list of communication actions associated with the respective user, or a combination thereof; receive the global state update from the physical server; change the display of the state of the infrastructure system and the display of the plurality of users and the user status for each of the plurality of users based on the global state update; and communicatively couple to another client. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
