Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by theinventors: “Resources are limited and the provision of reso urces is a crucial task enabling an environmentto work properly. The estimation of resource requirements and controlling the provision of the resourcesis diff icult. If it is a matter of steady-state systems, in which no or only minor exte rnal influences are tobe expected and/or in which the resource requirement show s a known development, there already existpracticable approaches in the state o f the art. However, if unforeseen circumstances have disturbed awell-known syst em, so that the previous predictions are useless, new approaches are required to optimizeresource allocations in environments. This means, that not too much bu t also not too less resource areprovided if needed.
