1. An integrated decision support control center system to permit an end user to monitor the status of at least a portion of a utility network, comprising:
- one or more processors, each having respective communication interfaces to receive data from said utility network, said data comprising real time utility network data;
one or more software applications, operatively coupled to and at least partially controlling said one or more processors, to;
process said real time utility network data and determine whether a change in condition in said at least portion of said utility network has occurred,determine if said change in condition is an anomaly, andpredict one or more problems based on said anomaly by assigning a weight to said anomaly based on previously identified correlations between previously observed anomalies and the presence or absence of a confirmed problem; and
a display, coupled to said one or more processors, for visually presenting said a depiction of at least said portion of said utility network, including any changes in condition thereof, in an integrated manner.

11. A method for operating an integrated decision support control center system to permit an end user to monitor the status of at least a portion of a utility network, comprising:
-
receiving real time utility network data from said utility network; determining, from said received real time utility network data, whether a change in condition in said at least portion of said utility network has occurred; determining if said change in condition is an anomaly; predicting one or more problems based on said anomaly by assigning a weight to said anomaly based on previously identified correlations between previously observed anomalies and the presence or absence of a confirmed problem; and displaying a depiction of at least said portion of said utility network, including any determined changes in condition thereof, in an integrated manner. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 25)

19. An integrated decision support control center system to permit an end user to monitor the status of at least a portion of a utility network, comprising:
-
communication interface means for receiving data from said utility network, said data comprising real time utility network data; data processing means, coupled to said communication interface means to; process said real time utility network data and determine whether a change in condition in said at least portion of said utility network has occurred determine if said change in condition is an anomaly, and predict one or more problems based on said anomaly by assigning a weight to said anomaly based on previously identified correlations between previously observed anomalies and the presence or absence of a confirmed problem; and display means, coupled to said data processing means, for visually presenting said a depiction of at least said portion of said utility network, including any changes in condition thereof, in an integrated manner. - View Dependent Claims (20)
