Separation of Infrastructure Management Capabilities from Application Specific Ones

This requirement is related to the separation of concerns between the provision and management of application services (e.g. coordinating application execution, SLA monitoring) and the management of the VO infrastructure (e.g. Host monitoring, Accounting modules, Host registry).
This requirement covers a problem faced by ASPs that, generally, are in charge also to manage the infrastructure and federated hosting / execution environments.
In the context of VO life-cycle, this requirement essentially covers the set-up of the infrastructure of a VO but, during the VO operational phase, common capabilities that allow VO members to focus on managing the application level while outsourcing the administration of the underlying Service-Oriented Infrastructure.
