Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for allocating at least one digital resource of a local, modular computer network. The computer network has at least two computing modules. Each of the computing modules is assigned a resource value for a digital resource. In accordance with a resource request having a demand value, at least one of the digital resources is allocated to the request. The demand value is compared with at least one of the resource values. The method acts and the associated algorithms may be stored in particular in an image file. Because of the high flexibility of the method, mobile computing modules, etc., may also be integrated into the local, modular computer network. The computer network thus exhibits the modular and flexible character of the computer network. The computer network is not configured as a fixed structure, but rather may also dynamically expand and contract.
