Abstract
Virtual organisations are created to satisfy requests for complex services, after the creation phase they operate usually until they fulfil their objectives and dissolve the organisation freeing its members from their resource commitment towards the organisation; this is a common virtual organisation life-cycle. In some environments, the services requests may vary over time, having high numbers of requests at some periods requiring more organisations to cover them, resulting on high number of virtual organisations formation processes. But besides the fulfilment, other dissolution causes can be considered. In this paper we present other causes that should be considered, and explain how they can affect on the overall performance regarding the formation costs and services requests assignment. In addition, we present a virtual organisation test platform (VOCODIT, Virtual Organisation and COalition DIssolution Test platform) for evaluate this approach.
