Abstract: A method and system for generating an automation engineering project in a technical installation is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processing unit, a request to generate an automation engineering project for a technical installation. The method further includes generating a first name graph based on the information about the hardware configuration associated with the automation engineering project. The method further includes generating, by the processing unit, a second name graph based on the analysis of the one or more modifications of the hardware configuration of the technical installation. The method further includes generating, by the processing unit, the automation engineering project from the plurality of engineering objects based on a comparison of the first name graph and the second name graph.

Abstract: An approach is provided enabling efficient access to and storage of data within a database system comprising a plurality of data repository sites distributed across different physical locations. A processor receives a request for data, the request specifying a key value. The processor determines a bucket associated with one of a plurality of data repository sites of a virtual cache based on the key value, the data repository sites being in different physical locations. The association between the bucket and the one data repository site is based on probability of serving the request.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the stereoselectivity of at least one organic chemical reaction and the relative rate of at least one organic chemical reaction, wherein the reaction produces a product that can exist as at least two stereoisomers, is provided herein. Also disclosed are methods for identifying and preparing catalysts for the above reactions.
