Abstract: A method and system includes subject participants, a verifier participant and a certifier participant of a communication network exchanging information about ESG data, wherein a subject participant provides a proof derived from an ESG credential and the verifier participant receives the proof via the communication network, where the participant receives the ESG credential from the certifier participant, the proof assigns authenticity of the certifier participant providing the ESG credential, wherein the proof additionally assigns integrity of the ESG data, parts or an attribute of the ESG data, wherein the system further includes nodes of a decentralized registry that manages a public key of the certifier participant, where the decentralized registry provides a public key of the certifier participant corresponding to the proof to the verifier participant so that the verifier participant can cryptographically verify the authenticity and integrity with the public key via a computing component of the verifier pa

Abstract: Provided is a state data of the technical system are captured and fed into a controller, which is configurable by control parameters, in order to control the technical system on the basis of the state data. Furthermore, complexity data quantifying a present computation complexity for the controller are captured and transmitted to a control planner. The control planner takes the complexity data as a basis for ascertaining an updated control parameter that renders the control currently more performant, according to a predefined performance measure, than as a result of the previous control parameter. The controller is then reconfigured by the updated control parameter.

Abstract: Producing a product, differently detailed structural information about a structure of the product and digital machining information about a machining process are read in. The structural information is examined as to whether a respective item of structural information is given further detail by a respective other structure. A plurality of machining sequences are generated from the structural information and machining information so that an item of structural information from a first machining sequence is given detail by an item of structural information from a second machining sequence. The first machining sequence is transmitted to a first planning module and the second machining sequence is transmitted to a second planning module. The planning modules generate an action sequence as a planning result, which is considered by the second planning module during generation of the action sequence. Control signals are output by the action sequence generated by the second planning module.
