==History==

The collaborations involved in grid computing of the early 2000s lead to the emergence of multiple organizations that function as one unit through the use of their shared competencies and resources for the purpose of one or more identified goals.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Ian Foster |author2=Carl Kesselman |author3=Steven Tuecke |title=Proceedings First IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid |chapter=The anatomy of the grid: Enabling scalable virtual organizations |journal= International Journal of Supercomputer Applications |pages=6–7 |date= May 10, 2001 |bibcode=2001cs........3025F |arxiv=cs/0103025 |doi=10.1109/CCGRID.2001.923162 |isbn=0-7695-1010-8 |s2cid=265038742 }}</ref>

A virtual organization has the characteristics of a formal organization while not being one. It comprises a complex network of smaller organizations which each contribute a part of the production process. Boundaries between organizations are fuzzy; control is generally by market forces, reinforced by the certainty of long- term contracts.

The XtreemOS project promised to support virtual organizations.<ref>{{cite journal |title= Virtual Organization Support within a Grid-Wide Operating System |author=M. Coppola |author2=Y.
