A real estate transaction and release tracking system ensures deeds of trust, liens and other encumbrances are released in a timely manner after a specified (or statutory) period of time following settlement of a real estate transaction. Based on information provided by an agent, such as an escrow agent or a settlement agent, the system creates a unique electronic record for each real estate transaction entered by the agent. The system tracks lien status information, either automatically from other computers or via manual input from searchers, and uses this status information to track each real estate transaction. The system monitors the records and indicates when a lien holder has failed to release their lien after a statutory time period that begins after the passing of the settlement date. When the statutory time period has passed, the system can generate a number of forms, including a demand letter as controlled optionally by the system or the user. The demand letter can be sent to the lien holder demanding them to release the lien. If the lien is not thereafter released, further legal documents can be generated and sent to a law firm or enforcement agent for legal action to be taken against the delinquent lien holder.

A method and system for providing rules-based or algorithms based automated response optimization in the email-marketing environment such that recipient responses during the delivery process of an email campaign influence the delivery parameters and / or message elements of the portions of the campaign yet to be mailed. Responses to an email marketing campaign determine its marketing effectiveness and include delivery statistics, undeliverable statistics, opens, link-clicks, replies, opt-outs, and conversion events. Conversion events are recipient actions that are intended results from the marketing campaign and include marketing or service transactions that are completed online (e.g. purchases, registrations, filling out surveys, etc) and / or offline (e.g. brand awareness, store visits etc.). The system monitors emails as they are being received by recipients during delivery and, based on rules established by the marketer or on default rules established by the system using algorithms, tracks designated response statistics and dynamically alters the email elements, such as subject line and / or other content, including clickable links so that messages that produce the most desirable response statistics is sent to a greater percentage of the remaining recipients. Rather than completing the entire emailing operation using the same content throughout, this invention allows for changing the content for emails remaining to be sent so that the more effective content (in terms of stimulating favorable recipient reactions and purchases) is delivered to as many of the recipients as possible. Additionally, the process may be applied between separately mailed campaigns so that the delivery parameters for subsequent campaigns in a “campaign stream” are automatically modified based on the results of the prior campaigns in the stream and on the rules being applied to the stream.

Systems and methods are described for software-defined approaches to energy communication networks (ECNs). For example, electrical substations typically host many Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that monitor and / or control the state of the substations' electricity infrastructures. Critical data from the IEDs can be packaged and transmitted between multiple IEDs for proper system monitoring and control. Even modern networks that interconnect IEDs tend to manifest many limitations, ranging from setup complexity to security policies. Embodiments use novel software-defined networking techniques to address these and other limitations. In some embodiments, power system requirements (e.g., data and communications requirements of IEDs) are translated into a set of networking requirements (e.g., as central routing tables). One implementation uses a Ryu-based, software-defined network controller. Embodiments provide features, such as auto-configuration, security management, re-routing, and flexibility to handle rapid evolution of the smart grid.
