Abstract
The Virtual Laboratory for e-Science seeks to provide users with a collaborative environment in which they will be able to work together across time and space while using Grid technology. In this paper we will define the requirements for collaboration in the VL-e. An in depth study of the Userlist, Instant Messenger and Telepointer has been done and a Grid Service based architecture has been designed for the Userlist and Instant Messenger as a first step for the VL-e collaborative System. The architecture consists of three Grid Services and a client. The Services have been built using the Globus Toolkit [5] in combination with the Java Shared Data Toolkit [3].
