The goal of the Virtual Workspace Service (VWS) is to use virtual machine technologies such as Xen to provide policy-driven resource management and dynamically deployable environments that fit the exact needs of grid applications. Online are overviews, technical documentation, and relevant publications and presentations. The service can be freely downloaded and you can see our current news items here. I think this journal article is a good in-depth introduction to virtual workspaces.
Deploying "one-click" virtual clusters on the fly is my favorite VWS feature, see this clusters page to learn more about it.
The GridShib Project provides a framework for joining federated authorization infrastructure (Shibboleth) with Grid technology (the Globus Toolkit). Besides gaining a well supported, distributed attribute based authorization infrastructure, integrating with Shibboleth allows grids to leverage its already wide use by universities for identity management. Online are overviews, technical documentation, and relevant publications and presentations. The tools are available for download here and you can see current news items here.
