A determination is made that at least one of the multiplicity of failures occurred during the one or more scheduled maintenance windows. A determination is also made that the customer was responsible for at least another one of the multiplicity of failures. A determination is made that the service provider was responsible for a plurality of the failures not including the at least one failure occurring during the one or more scheduled maintenance windows and the at least another one failure for which the customer was responsible.

In one embodiment, the present invention is implemented as a telecommunications fraud detection system. When fraud is detected, the detection layer generates alarms which are sent to the analysis layer. The analysis layer filters and consolidates the alarms to generate fraud cases. The analysis layer preferably generates a probability of fraud for each fraud case. The expert systems layer receives fraud cases and automatically initiates actions for certain fraud cases. The presentation layer also receives fraud cases for presentation to human analysts. The presentation layer permits the human analysts to initiate additional actions. | 05-21-2009 |
