Abstract
In the Architecture /Engineering / Construction (AEC) industry, large projects are tackled by consortia of companies and individuals who work collaboratively for the duration of the project. Planning, implementation and running of these AEC industry projects require the formation of secure Virtual Organisations (VOs) to enable collaboration between its members. The consortia are dynamic in nature and formed for the lifetime of the project. The paper emphasises the security issues of VOs in AEC industry. It describes the design and implementation of the Grid enabled security management service, based on Globus Security Infrastructure (GSI) [8] - a Globus toolkit component, of the Product Supplier Catalogue Database (PSCD) application, an ActivePlan Solutions Ltd. (APSL)1 software supporting collaborative work in multiple consortia.
