Abstract: Software code changes are facilitated by receiving as input a user query specifying a search term and automatically generating a ranked list of connected call trees based on the search term. Each connected call tree identifies subroutines that contain an identifier matching at least part of the search term or that are linked to a subroutine that contains an identifier matching at least part of the search term. The ranked list of connected call trees is displayed as a diagram.

Abstract: A method of classifying an event in an electrical grid. The method utilizes event related data provided by intelligent electronic devices and provides the operator with a single conclusion classifying the event, thereby helping the operator to determine the mitigation actions. The method includes receiving individual event related data from each intelligent electronic device, and determining whether the event is a fault or a non-fault based on probabilistic methods applied to the event related data. A corresponding system is also presented herein.

Abstract: A method and device of controlling an industrial process. The method includes the steps of monitoring a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled and determining whether the respective value of the at least one physical parameter deviates from a nominal value. Further, the method includes the step of displaying on a display screen, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value. Finally, the method includes the steps of providing on the display screen, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state and controlling the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information.
