Desktop grids are an emerging trend in grid computing. Interoperability and resource sharing between different desktop grid projects however is not yet solved. This paper presents an approach of organizing desktop grids in a hierarchy that makes it possible for lower-level desktop grids to acquire work from the higher level if they have spare resources available, thus building large-scale grid systems from small local desktop grid installations. An industrial application that can make use of such a setup is also described. 1
