In response to VO challenges, research and development efforts shall address different features and components of VO, that cover a wide spectrum of areas. Considering the complexity of building technical support infrastructures and applications for VOs, clearly at the time of such developments , the choice of best approach, standards, technology, commercial tools/systems, or R&D developed prototypes plays a major role in their efficiency and sustainability. To assist developers in this challenging process, this chapter suggests a careful and systematic study of the problem/solution areas. This study discusses the properties required for technical support of VOs, the main related R&D focus areas, commercial development efforts, and the current trends in these areas.
