A great software company once said "The network is the computer" ;-) Like a single CPU system, a distributed computing system can benefit from a registry. I personally like the MS Windows Registry model (please - no flames from Linux zealots). The registry contains keys that identify system resources to be called when needed. A distributed computing model can benefit from a registry in the same way. Perhaps the paper could compare the usefulness of the Windows Registry system and point out that the ebXML Registry could provide a similar service for distributed computing? BTW - I personally don't believe that distributed computing will ever become mainstream since the network lags incurred and multiplicity of possible points of failure seem to mitigate any perceived advantage. IMHO - the whole concept seems to be a "we're doing this just because we can" technologist driven exercise. Single calls to BSI's are more likely.
