Towards a Grid Platform Enabling Dynamic Virtual Organisations for Business Applications.

In this paper we describe the demonstration of selected security & contract management capabilities of an early prototype infrastructure enabling dynamic Virtual Organisations for the purpose of providing virtualised services and resources that can be offered on-demand, following a utility computing model, and integrated into aggregated services whose components may be distributed across enterprise boundaries. The ideas underpinning this prototype have been investigated in the context of European projects TrustCoM [1], ELeGI [2] and GRASP [4] where initial prototype development has taken place.
