Abstract: The invention provides a method capable of producing a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene or xylene effective as a base raw material, with a naphtha raw material containing renewable naphtha. The method for producing at least one monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of benzene or xylene with a naphtha raw material containing renewable naphtha includes step (A-1) of pyrolyzing the naphtha raw material in the presence of water vapor, to produce and separate toluene, and step (A-2) of subjecting toluene to disproportionation reaction or transalkylation reaction, to produce and separate at least one monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of benzene or xylene.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to obtain function information indicating a hardware function of a first station-side device on a physical network and communication state information indicating a communication state of the first station-side device, based on the function information, generate setting information for switching a first communication between the first station-side device and a terminal device to a second communication between a second station-side device on a virtual network and the terminal device, specify, based on the communication state information, a time period in which the first communication is not executed, specify switching time which is in the identified time period and at which the first communication is to be switched to the second communication, and cause, based on the setting information and the specified switching time, the second station-side device to start the second communication.
