Abstract
This work describes an approach to managing networked virtual and physical resources under a Grid-based Virtual Organization, viewed as elementary components of Virtual Remote Laboratories. While keeping overhead at local organizations at a minimum, we seek to obtain secure and dynamic configuration of available resources, then providing interactive access to these resources through web interfaces. These resources can be involved in tasks such as parallel computing, internetworking simulation laboratories, etc. Two test cases, representative of two broad use case classes, are implemented.
