Claim:
1. A device configured to: receive sensed operation parameters related to the operation of a machine; utilize the sensed operation parameters in a first analyzer configured to generate first characteristics related to degradation of the machine; utilize the sensed operation parameters in a second analyzer configured to generate second characteristics related to thermal characteristics of the machine, wherein the thermal characteristics include thermal stresses present in the machine; utilize the first characteristic related to degradation of the machine, the second characteristics related to thermal characteristics of the machine, and a third characteristic related to operator behaviors related to the current operation of the machine to generate remaining useful life characteristics of components of the machine, wherein the third characteristic is based on a behavior classification derived from historical data and an operator command and associated with a behavior category of a plurality of behavior categories indicative of a manner by which the machine is and has been operated by a user; and generate operational set points for control of the machine based in part on the remaining useful life characteristics, desired machine performance characteristics based on the operator behaviors, and maintenance characteristics of the machine, wherein the operational set points cause adjustment of one or more actuators for control of the machine.
