Abstract
This paper addresses the area of software development and maintenance for GRID- based applications. We argue that the structure and geographical spread of these systems poses new challenges to the ICT services industry. We believe that human intelligence and related skills are a central element in facing these challenges and see the emerging paradigm of virtual organizations as promising direction to realize the availability of these skills.
In this paper, we describe two streams in our research: One covers the applications of organizational concepts of VO’s in this area (squads) and lists the issues of study. The other covers the ICT support for squads themselves. We describe the requirements for and architecture of adaptive squad information services (AS1S).
