     3== Introduction ==
    34OGM (TODO: pick a better name) is a system for grid computing on organizational resources, using BOINC.

    … …  
    78OGM 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.

     10As now the institution has the power of deciding which projects they are going to support with its resources, the institution could receive petitions for using those BOINC resources. For this reason, the institution will have a committee. This 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.

    12 OGM is focused in harnessing a set of BOINC enabled PCs resources from one institution (see the above image) by using a Master-Slave architecture (BOINC Account Managers). The basic idea is 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. Therefore, the OGM software is in charge of attaching all the clients to the different chosen projects without the intervention of the users.
     12== A more detailed view of OGM ==

    1414For OGM, from the point of view of hardware components, an institution is composed with the following items:
    … …  
    2020 * IT Manager. An IT Manager always belongs to one Department. For this reason, the IT Manager can only administer the computer pools which belongs to his department.
    2121 * Project Manager. A Project Manager is in charge of choosing and attaching the BOINC projects that will run on the institution BOINC PCs.

    2327Therefore, OGM basically attach all the selected BOINC projects to all its computer pools. The work flow will be the following:
