Abstract
A system for expansive network control comprising: a development engine includes a scenario building engine configured to build an abstracted view of at least one sub-network based on a network inventory; a gamification engine communicating with a user input/output device providing at least one simulated scenario involving a simulated network threat to the user input/output device; and a machine learning engine communicating with the gamification engine, wherein the machine learning engine generates at least one strategy, the machine learning engine capturing the scenario and the user input from the user input/output device; an expansive network control operation engine includes an expansive network control engine communicating with the machine learning engine; an execution engine communicating with the expansive network control engine; a threat detection engine communicating with at least one external threat data source, the at least one external threat data source including at least one of weather, seismic, natural disaster, law enforcement, news and public utility data; wherein the threat detection engine monitors the at least one data source to detect a threat and passes a threat type and an impacted sub-network location for the threat type to the expansive network control engine; wherein the expansive network control engine is configured to retrieve at least one of an available inventory and priority of the impacted sub-network; wherein based on the at least one strategy, the expansive network control engine triggers the execution engine to perform an action to address the threat; an expansive network planning engine includes a simulation engine; the simulation engine configured to trigger an event and record a simulation result of the event; and a spare recommender, wherein the simulation engine communicates the simulation result to the spare recommender and wherein the spare recommender analyzes the simulation result to determine if excessive spares exist.
