## Abstract

A system and method for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management, including a business operating system, parameter evaluation engine, at least one cyber-physical asset, at least one crypt-ledger, a network, and the ability to represent data in Markov State Models and finite state machines.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management, comprising:
at least one cyber-physical asset comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:
execute a software kernel;
wherein the software kernel may execute other software as needed;
receive input;
send output over a network;
a database comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the second programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:
receive data over a network;
record relational data;
receive queries over a network;
wherein the queries are output data according to queries;
a parametric evaluation engine comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the third programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:
query databases over a network; and
display queried data on a UI.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the parametric evaluation engine is hosted on a remote server.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the database is a multidimensional time-series database, capable of receiving data asynchronously from multiple sources over a period of time, and establishing graph-series data structures with received data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein a crypto-ledger is stored in a database, containing a record of previous cyber-physical asset status updates.

### Claim 5

A method for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management, comprising the steps of:
installing sensors on a cyber-physical asset;
generating public and private keys for a crypto-ledger, using a cyber-physical asset;
communicating with a business operating system for initial asset status, using a business operating system and cyber-physical asset;
send status updates to a business operating system, using a business operating system, cyber-physical asset, and network;
verifying asset status updates, using a database and business operating system; and
recording verified status updates, using a database, business operating system, and cyber-physical asset.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the parametric evaluation engine is hosted on a remote server.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the database is a multidimensional time-series database, capable of receiving data asynchronously from multiple sources over a period of time, and establishing graph-series data structures with received data.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein a crypto-ledger is stored in a database, containing a record of previous cyber-physical asset status updates.
