Abstract: A customer function on a computer system comprising processing cores. The customer function comprises applications with a multitude of different tasks. The computer system provides containers and is configured to activate and de-activate said containers so that a container is active or inactive, wherein all tasks of the applications are assigned to containers, wherein all tasks of each specific application are assigned to exactly one specific container, wherein in a timeframe, during which a container is active, one or more cores of the computer system are exclusively reserved for the execution of the tasks of the application of said container, and wherein the computer system is configured such that when a container is inactive, the tasks of said container cannot be executed on the computer system. For each container a task sequencer is provided.

Abstract: A method to generate configuration data to enable and/or to enhance real-time communication in a cyber-physical system or in a cyber-physical system of systems. The system includes components connected to each other by a communication infrastructure. The components each execute at least one application, which applications exchange information with at least one application being executed on another component. The components are configured to send and/or receive said information according to configuration data: The first configuration data for two or more of the components, on each of which at least one application is executed, is generated by execution of a publish-subscribe protocol, which is executed by two or more of the components, for which the first configuration data are provided.
