The objectives of this workshop is to understand the different views on Virtual Organizations targeted in the most important Next Generation Grid projects in Europe in the context of concrete distributed applications from different domains and the specific challenges that need to be addressed. In particular the new challenges arising while moving from academic grid environments towards business oriented settings are of particular interest.
The contributors to this workshop have been selected from Integrated Projects of different domains. Beside the driving forces of the next generation architecture of Grids in Europe namely NextGrid and Akogrimo contributions from purely business driven Virtual Organisations (TrustCoM) and collaboration focused models (ELeGI) will provide a comprehensive picture of different next generation VO models.
It is planned to make this workshop the first in a series of similar workshop as it is expected that the convergence of VO models is not likely to happen in short term and regular exchange of ideas and the feedback from delegates with a business context is highly desirable.
