1. A method for embedding a web application to be embedded into a surrounding web application, the web application to be embedded being provided to run in a separate execution and display region of the surrounding web application, the method comprising:
providing the web application to be embedded by at least two web servers;
defining at least one criterion which is used to determine the web server of the at least two web servers of which the provided web application to be embedded is embedded into the surrounding web application;
interconnecting the web application to be embedded and the at least two web servers communicatively via a communication facility, the criterion relating to the communication in the communication facility, and the criterion being a reduction of data traffic in the communication facility between the at least two web servers;
wherein functions in an industrial automation system are provided by the web application;
wherein the automation system at least one of (i) controls and/or regulates and (ii) monitors a process; and
wherein the criterion is a reduction of the data traffic which occurs due to transferring process values of the process between the at least two web servers.
