Abstract
In this paper we present a simplified version of heterogeneous metacomputing environments for specific applications, allowing ability to run jobs on remote systems without administration overhead connected with maintaining user accounts, and transparently for the real user. We present problems with developing distributed computing environments, the idea of the Virtual User Account on specialised application servers, advantages and disadvantages of this solution, and possible further works.
