Dynamic Virtual Organizations in engineering

  • Conference paper
Computational Science and High Performance Computing II

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 91))

Abstract

‘Virtual Organizations’ belong to the key concepts in the Grid computing community. They are currently evolving from basically static to dynamic solutions that are created ad-hoc in reaction to a market demand. This paper provides a defi- nition of ‘dynamic Virtual Organizations’ in order to assess specific challenges of an abstract collaborative engineering scenario. The paper concludes with a description of an evolving architecture enabling such dynamic virtual organizations.
