For example, in the movie post-production industry, a number of production houses may be brought together to form a dynamic collaboration, for say special effects, that lasts for the duration of a project (e.g. days, weeks or months) where each production house contributes unique resources that collectively enable the production of a movie. Collaborations built around this concept are termed dynamic collaborations. These dynamic collaborations enable companies to create new corporate value-add through quicker and more dynamic response to meet the demands of accelerating changes by using its own resources and resources from other companies. The goal of the project to research, design and develop trusted collaboration services for applications in the eResearch domain with a focus on the trust extension device (TED), electronic contracts (e-Contracts) and tele-presence (Intense+). The outcomes from the research are expected to provide end-to-end trust between multiple users in a collaborative environment. This is achieved by providing each user with both the means for trusted communication via the Intense+ platform using audio, video and application sharing technologies, as well as secure environment via service-oriented middleware architectures, namely Dynamic Collaboration Service (DCS), for the Braccetto platform in the context of dynamic collaborations in eResearch. The current focus of the project is developing components of DCS related to "access control of information" and an initial communication platform. Towards this, the project performs research, design and development on:
