A system for hazard mitigation in a structure including a subsystem coupled to a circuit of an electrical distribution system and set of nodes. The nodes monitor operating conditions of the circuit and generate data in response. A data processing system is operable to process the data generated by the set of nodes and in response identify a trigger representing a condition requiring that an action be taken. The data processing system processes the trigger in accordance with a predetermined policy to initiate an action by the subsystem.

An integrated risk management tool includes a persistent object database to store information about actors (individuals and/or groups), physical surroundings, historical events and other information. The risk management tool also includes a decision support system that uses data objects from the database and advanced decision theory techniques, such as Bayesian Networks, to infer the relative risk of an undesirable event. As part of the relative risk calculation, the tool uses a simulation and gaming environment in which artificially intelligent actors interact with the environment to determine susceptibility to the undesired event. Preferred embodiments of the tool also include an open “plug-in” architecture that allows the tool to interface with existing consequence calculators. The tool also provides facilities for presenting data in a user-friendly manner as well as report generation facilities.

The present invention relates to an Internet enabled, interactive financial portfolio risk modeling system. The system operates online, in a collaborative computing environment between the user and the portfolio development system. The portfolio generating system models the user's personal investment parameters into a user profile in terms of the user risk tolerance level, user investment style and user bull/bear attitude. The system further calculates Value At Risk (VAR) values for the user. The system filters various securities based on their VAR and Beta values and present two list of filtered securities, with opposing Beta values, matching the user profile. The present invention enables the user to swap securities in and out of his existing portfolio and receive an analysis of the effect of the swap on his portfolio. The model also generates an ideal portfolio based on the user profile. The present invention presents the user with an estimated value of his portfolio, based on a regression formula as well as a possible best and worst scenario based on statistical formulas particularly to computer implemented, Internet based financial modeling systems.

A computer-implemented method and system evaluates and displays a return on investment for using weather-related risk-management services. The system includes user interfaces, databases containing information about the accuracy of different forms of weather-related risk-management services and the types and frequency of weather events in different geographical areas, and return on investment functions. The system accepts information about a user's costs of responding to weather warnings and events, retrieves information from its databases and applies the appropriate function to determine a return on investment. The result is then displayed to the user. The method determines the costs of weather-related risks faced by a user under two different risk-management services and compares them, determining a return on investment for the use of one service over the other.

The disclosed embodiments relate to a mechanism which may restrict or otherwise manage the extent of exposure of any particular market participant within the price movement threshold of a market protection system which interrupts market activity during extreme events, as well as to a mechanism for controlling risk of loss which acts to reduce or otherwise manage a market participant's ability to concentrate their exposure, or risk of loss, within a range of price levels and/or within correlated products that could be executed upon before the market participant, or other entity responsible for the activities thereof, e.g. a risk manager, has an opportunity to react to rapid market movement. Such a mechanism, once the market protection system had activated, e.g. by placing the market in reserve, may permit the market participant, or other party, the opportunity to modify or cancel unexecuted orders to mitigate potential losses.

A risk management system and method provides for the establishment of dynamic portfolios, whose evolution over time is defined by one or more rules. Each dynamic portfolio can have instruments added and removed over time in accordance with Trade Managers as a result of evaluation of the user-defined rules which can be dependent upon various attributes, including time, portfolio contents, risk factor values, risk values and other information. Such dynamic portfolios can be used to analyze risk associated with settlement, liquidity and/or collateral management issues, to name a few. Also, a user can define multiple candidate trading strategies, each implemented in one or more Trade Managers, and the user can then analyze the effectiveness of the candidate strategies, before adopting one.

A method, system, and medium for assessing and/or managing risks for an organization is described. The method, for example, comprises the steps of inventorying a number of assets of the organization, identifying at least one criterion defining a security objective of the organization, and identifying one or more inventoried assets that relate to the identified criterion. The assets may include one or more computers, networking equipment therefor and physical locations where the computers and networking equipment are located. The method may also include the step of formulating one or more metric equations, each metric equation being defined, in part, by the one or more identified assets. Each metric equation yields an outcome value when one or more measurements are made relating to the identified assets. The method may also include the step of assessing the risk to the organization based on the measured values of the one or more metric equations. Corresponding system, medium and means are also described.

Methods and systems are disclosed for risk management in electronic trading where user messages are collected by at least one inspection engine which monitors one or more parameters of the user messages. The decision to manipulate the user messages is based on whether one or more of the parameters or a risk factor exceeds a predetermined range limit. The user messages are then transmitted to a trading engine where the user messages with manipulated parameters are rejected and the user messages with unchanged parameters are processed normally. By eliminating the need to maintain state with the message protocol of the user messages, the transport speed of such user messages is improved.

A Flight Risk Management System (“FRMS”). The system provides supplementary preflight and in-flight guidance to relatively inexperienced owner/operators of high performance aircraft. A pilot wishing to enroll in the FRMS must have an aircraft equipped with an in-flight data recorder capable of monitoring the aircraft's state and communicating this state to an FRMS dispatcher. The dispatcher analyzes each flight before its commencement and imposes restrictions designed to promote flight safety. The dispatcher monitors the flight in progress to ensure the pilot's compliance with all directives. For most enrollees, participation in the FRMS is a mandatory condition precedent to the pilot's insurance coverage. Thus, the potential loss of insurance coverage enforces compliance. In the preferred embodiment, the FRMS manages pilot training, pilot performance, aircraft maintenance, and flight risk assessment.
