Abstract: A data structure for a jointly utilized memory device, in particular, for inter-process communication, in an application system. The memory device includes a memory cell. The data structure includes a management structure, the management structure being configured to hold a pointer object to the memory cell.

Abstract: A method for providing a piece of data in a communication system. The method includes: allocating a memory means for updating data in the memory means, in particular by a producer, in particular in response to a request signal of the producer; updating the data in the provided memory means with the piece of data; providing the memory means for the purpose of being read out, in particular by a consumer, wherein, in the allocation step, the memory means is allocated as a function of a status of the memory means.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the usage of a jointly utilized memory medium by a user, in particular by a computer-implemented application. The jointly utilized memory medium is divided into at least one partition, each partition being assignable a right of use, in particular a write permission and/or a read permission, a plurality of user groups being assignable to the right of use, the user being a member of a user group, a usage of the jointly utilized memory medium by the user being prevented when the user accesses a first partition of the at least one partition and the user is not a member of one of the user groups assigned to the right of use corresponding to the access.

Abstract: A method for providing a datum in a receive buffer memory. The method includes storing the datum to be provided in the receive buffer memory, and retrieving an old datum from the receive buffer memory, if the receive buffer memory overflows as a result of storing the datum to be provided.
