Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for dynamic delegation of control in a grid computing environment comprising: granting authority of a grid node, by a computing device, to a moderator by a superauthority, wherein said superauthority grants a specific credentialed authorization certificate to said moderator; admitting, by said computing device, said moderator to said grid node based on said grid node checking that said specific credentialed authorization certification of said moderator is valid and signed by said superauthority; modifying, by said computing device, an access control list of said grid node by said moderator; and inviting, by said grid node, other entities listed on said access control list to access said grid node, wherein said moderator controls said inviting of said other entities by modifying said access control list without contact with said superauthority, wherein said grid node enables real time collaboration between different entities in said grid computing environment that virtualizes geographically distributed heterogeneous computing resources as a unified whole.
