Abstract

A method for providing a function by a group of computing units in which computation instances are executed, each computation instance implementing the function using at least one algorithm and being set up to determine at least one result in response to a call of the function. The method includes: determining an integrity level for each of the computation instances; receiving a function request from a subscriber, the function request including a quality requirement that includes an integrity requirement; selecting a plurality of the computation instances corresponding to the quality requirement, so that the integrity level of the selected computation instances corresponds to the integrity requirement; calling the function in the selected computation instances corresponding to the function request in order to determine a plurality of results; determining a response based on the results, taking into account the quality requirement; and sending the response to the subscriber.
