Automated Recovery System Verification

A system, comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• and
• a simulator application executable in the at least one computing device, the simulator application comprising:
• logic that receives an input from the client, wherein the input causes the simulator application to enter a first mode or a second mode;
• logic that facilitates creation of a plurality of circuit models when the simulator application enters the first mode, wherein each circuit model is representative of an electrical circuit;
• logic that facilitates the simulation of the circuit models, each of the circuit models comprising:
• at least one source object;
• at least one load object;
• at least one horizontal line segment;
• at least one vertical line segment;
• and
• at least one user-created software intelligent electronic device, wherein the user-created software intelligent electronic device further comprises a plurality of status points corresponding to a plurality of operational modes associated with a hardware intelligent electronic device;
• logic that receives at least one distributed network protocol message from an automated recovery when the simulator application enters a second mode;
• logic that transmits at least one poll response to the automated recovery system in response to the distributed network protocol message;
• logic that publishes a real time communications trace between the automated recovery system and the at least one user created software intelligent electronic device;
• and
• logic that facilitates a user manipulation of at least one status point.
