Abstract
Developing and providing complex IT services typically enforces the cooperation of several experts from different domains. Beside the domain specific knowledge of every involved expert this typically enforces a profound knowledge of the underlying IT service infrastructures. In this chapter, the authors show how a complex (HPC) IT service product can be provided in an easy-to-use fashion via a service virtualisation infrastructure by referring to a complex medical simulation use case. In particular, they highlight how such a complex IT service can be integrated in a holistic virtual organisation environment and show how different experts from different domains can concentrate on their specific domain whilst being enabled to take advantage of the services provided by other experts / domains in a SOA like fashion.
