Increasing efficiency and availability of informational and computing resources is one of the key problem addressed by integrating distributed resources into common system. The integration is achieved through building unified interfaces available via dedicated or public network infrastructure. One of the essential participants in an integrated system is the resource provider that makes its resources accessible on demand. Resource providers may share one or more resources. Providers that share many resources of different type are called Resource Centers. We define the concept of a Resource Center and study possible approaches to the organization of the working process that run within a resource center or involve several resource centers. Further we compare the notion of a Resource Center in a Distributed Informational and Computing Environment and the well understood notion of a Collective Access Center. Finally we present organizational and technological solutions to support the operation of Resource Centers.
