 OGM (TODO: pick a better name) is a system for grid computing on organizational resources, using BOINC.
 
+BOINC is thought to rely on user decisions because they are the owners of the computers. However, there are situations where the users are not the owners of the PCs, for example the PCs from an institution like an University. In this case, the computers are controlled by the institution, and therefore the institution decides in which tasks can be used those computers. In this new scenario BOINC lacks a tool to harness remotely all the BOINC enabled computers without the intervention of the user. For this reason, we are developing the tool called OGM.
+
+OGM is a tool which basically works in the same way as the Account Managers does. The main difference is that OGM is institutional oriented instead of user oriented. Hence, the OGM employs the Account Manager protocol, and uses a Master Slave architecture. To support this software, all the clients will have to install a BOINC client and attach to the OGM server. Once the clients have contacted the OGM server, the clients will receive all the BOINC projects that they have to process.

-OGM is focused in harnessing a set of BOINC enabled PCs resources from one institution (see the above image). The basic working model will be that a committee will decide which BOINC projects are interesting for the institution. Based on this decision, the institution will donate its BOINC enabled PCs to the chosen projects.
