Which means that once a worm got into the system it would automatically be everywhere. And it could reconfigure and tune things so that you couldn't get rid of it. And it could turn off monitoring of its activities so you wouldn't know it was there. Great. Just what I need after a whole week of fighting the Nimda worm.
We believe that a distributed operating system,
based on a few principles pervasively applied, could address
these problems. Such a system would enforce extreme location

object might live anywhere--and the system would manage the
locality, replication, and migration of computations and data.
The system would be self-configuring, self-monitoring, and
self-tuning.
