Abstract

Virtual projects are carried out by distributed teams of workers from different organizations joined temporarily for the duration of a project. Grid technologies facilitate on-demand collaborative work environments for such virtual project work scenarios because Grid technologies provide the ability to dynamically create and manage temporary instances of tools required to accomplish projects, performing distributed resource allocation and sharing for distributed teams in such multi-organization scenarios. In this article we explain the main requirements and design options for on-demand collaborative work environment for virtual projects, we describe the architecture of a system that realizes such on-demand collaborative work environment, and we show a case study of a virtual project to produce and distribute a video using a prototype implementation of such architecture.
