Virtual Organization for computational intelligence (VOCI): architecture and realization

Virtual Organizations (VO) are playing a major part in our daily communication. Many social online/offline networks are in use by humans all around the globe. The Computational Intelligence (CI) society is striving to build an online community to share resources, such as data, algorithms, human expertise, procedures and methods. Existing VOs are often fixed to a specific domain and so forth hard to extend. There is a strong need to establish a generic platform which is flexible and dynamic. Advantages are twofold, first to support tools confirming to the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) paradigm, and secondly, to create a powerful online community portal for the CI society. This paper presents a blueprint for building a Virtual Organization for Computational Intelligence (VOCI) that couples N2Grid (a neural network simulation environment) and CEWebS (a platform for building VOs).
