In Grid computing, a Virtual Organization (VO) refers to a dynamic set of individual and/or institutions defined around a set of resource-sharing rules and conditions. All these virtual organizations share some commonality among them, including common concerns and requirements, but may vary in size, scope, duration, sociology, and structure.
