Comment Got ISOS, Need Killer-app (Score 1) 236
For the last two years, we have been working
on something extremely similar:
Jtrix
Technically, Jtrix has micro-kernel-like agents (nodes)
running on host machines. Applications consist of
code fragments that can be executed on the nodes.
There is a mechanism for binding to a remote service,
and that's pretty much all you need as a basic
platform. Of course, it's convenient to have some
support services (eg. file storage), but that's
already in userland (as it should be).
A lot of this is implemented and working.
We have got one problem though: we need a killer
app to get people running thoses nodes ...
