The method also includes automatically providing resources in the local computing centers of the cloud according to the calculated future resource requirement of the local computing centers.

Abstract: A process is proposed for distillatively obtaining pure 1,3-butadiene from crude 1,3-butadiene in a plant comprising one or more distillation columns, comprising supply of a feed stream of crude 1,3-butadiene to the one distillation column or the first of the plurality of distillation columns, the one distillation column or the plurality of distillation columns having a flange with an internal diameter of ?80 mm, comprising two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1) with an intermediate seal (2) which seals the interior of the one distillation column or of the first of the plurality of distillation columns from an intermediate space (3) on the atmosphere side between the two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1), and the intermediate space (3) on the atmosphere side between the two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1) being closed off from the atmosphere to form a chamber, wherein the chamber is purged continuously during the operation of the plant with a low-oxygen gas or a low-oxygen

Abstract: For locating of devices installed in a building, the devices are provided with RFID tags, on which data pertaining to the devices are stored and which emit only in a predetermined range. A locating apparatus has a receiver module for receiving data pertaining to a device from an RFID tag which is attached to the device which is installed in a room in the building; a position data capture module for capturing the device position; and a data management module for identifying the device position as at least one coordinate of a coordinate system and for storing the position thereby identified with the data pertaining to the device. The coordinate system is based on at least one area of the room. A fast, flexible and comprehensive locating of devices installed in a building can be used, for example, with respect to the installation, service and maintenance of such devices.

Abstract: Within a migration process of a computer system, a replacement component (1) of a computer system is replaced with a substitute component (2), wherein the substitute component (2) forms an alternative component to the component (1) requiring to be replaced and being of the same kind as the component (1) requiring to be replaced. The method according has the steps:—Determining of the replacement component (1) and of the substitute component (2);—Implementing (S2) modifications to the substitute component (2) by aspect programming in a so called aspect (4a) wherein the implementing is based on determined differences in functionalities;—Translating (S3) the aspect (4a) and generating a library (5a) containing the translated aspect; and—Applying (S4) the aspect (4a) to the substitute component (2) available as the translated library. A flexible execution of the migration within a computer system can thereby be effected.
