An organizational grid management system for BOINC

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

OGM assumes the following:

• There is a set of "resource pools" (groups of computers). Each resource pool is managed by an organizational unit (e.g. a research group, a university department, a division of a company, etc.).
• There is a set of BOINC projects that are allowed to use these resources. These projects are operated by organizations, some of which may also manage resource pools.
• The set of organizations has agreed to cooperate in the sharing of computer resources.

OGM manages resource usage. Based on requests and constraints from resource providers and consumers, it decides which projects to attach to which computers, and what resource share should be assigned.
