Some embodiments include a server system including a first logic module executable by a processor for receiving a data communication from an industrial control system coupled to a communications network. In some embodiments, the data communication comprises data or data streams associated with the industrial process. The program logic of the first logic module includes a model configured to receive a variable and iterate and converge an optimization problem to an optimization solution to a first level of optimization based at least in part on the variable and the data or data streams. A second logic module executable by the processor is operatively data-linked to the first logic module and utilizes a model to iteratively process data values of the optimization solution to a second level of optimization with an increased level of optimization over the first level of optimization.
