Abstract: A method of container virtualization in a processor circuit is provided, wherein the processor circuit operates a host operating system and at least one container in which application software is implemented. The processor circuit operates a logging service of the host operating system independently of the at least one container. The at least one container or the application software is coupled by a data channel to the host operating system. The application software outputs at least one message regarding an operation event of the application software in a first format into the data channel. A conversion unit is operated in the host operating system which receives the at least one message from the data channel and converts it from the first format into a host-specific second format, and transfers the converted message to the logging service for logging of the operation event.

Abstract: A method for executing an application on a distributed system architecture having an application client for receiving input data and for providing output data; a local application server on the application client; at least one remote application server for receiving input data from the application client for processing input data for the application client and for returning processed input data to the application client; and an application manager for assigning the application to the local application server or to the at least one remote application server. The method includes determining a first round-trip time, determining a second round-trip time, determining a tolerance time for receiving and processing input data for the application, comparing the two round-trip times with the tolerance time, and assigning the application to the local application server or to the at least one remote application server based on the comparison.
