JVMs as Objects

Terracotta open source clustering software can abstract JVMs as though they were Objects themselves. String together virtual machines as you might link POJOs. Combined with grid technology and software, this type of infrastructure could revolutionize the way we think about software architectures employing Java implementations. I could imagine some uses for this kind of technology in Web 2.0 setups where networks of virtual machines could be dynamically generated to cooperate in parallel or otherwise, to accomplish group tasks in new and fascinating ways.
