Decision support system for virtual organization management

The Decision Support System (DSS) for Virtual Organization Management is a component of the Virtual Organization (VO) management toolkit, which is being developed in the ECOLEAD project. The DSS mainly supports VO operational and strategic management by simulated rescheduling and reconfiguration of a VO. Such simulations allow “what-if-analysis”, verifying and comparing various configurations and their robustness, discovering possible bottlenecks, and pre-preparing potential adaptations of VO configuration and schedule. The outputs are presented in a “human-friendly” way to support the VO manager in decision about and negotiation for VO adaptation.
