Abstract
In response to VO challenges, research and development efforts shall address different features and components of VO, that cover a wide spectrum of areas. Considering the complexity of building technical support infrastructures and applications for VOs, clearly at the time of such developments, the choice of best approach, standards, technology, commercial tools/systems, or R&D developed prototypes plays a major role in their efficiency and sustainability. To assist developers in this challenging process, this chapter suggests a careful and systematic study of the problem/solution areas. This study discusses the properties required for technical support of VOs, the main related R&D focus areas, commercial development efforts, and the current trends in these areas.
