Abstract
A method for managing and monitoring the operation of several distributed hardware and/or software systems that are integrated into at least one communications network. A central programming element, which is stored in a data processing device, processes system-related data that are contained in the data processing device or that have been received by the device via a communications network. The programming element then autonomously derives operation-related decisions from the data and, based on the decisions, generates decision-specific control data to influence the operation of one or more hardware and/or software systems. The element subsequently transmits the control data to data processing devices that are assigned to the respective hardware and/or software systems.

25. A method for managing and monitoring an operation of a plurality of distributed hardware and/or software systems that are integrated into at least one communications network, the method which comprises:
-
with a central program means stored in a data processing device, processing system-related data that are present in the data processing device or are received by the data processing device via a communications network;
autonomously deriving operation-related decisions from the data;
based on the decisions, generating decision-specific control data for influencing the operation of one or more hardware and/or software systems; and
transmitting the control data, via the communications network, to data processing devices assigned to the respective hardware and/or software systems. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
