AI summary

A simulator extracts sensor data from multiple systems. The sensor data includes measurements taken by sensors disposed at the multiple systems. The simulator standardizes the sensor data into a common format and classifies the sensor data according to a performance metric. A model of a target system for the performance metric is generated based on the standardized sensor data. The simulator can simulate the impact on the performance metric for a target system based on a simulated change to the multiple systems. The simulator can generate a network interface including a tool that enables end users to interact with the simulation and to determine procedures for mitigating the impact.
