SOA Grid

(prompted by http://www.soamag.com/I10/0907-1.asp)

This discusses technologies for scalability e.g. mid-tier caching, load balancing, and high availability through service-level grid enablement for high performance SOAs (SOA Grid) that may help enable enforceable SLAs across service portfolios (WS, messaging, enterprise
applications, mainframes)

It introduces some interesting architectural issues e.g. remote nodes to cache
the programming logic (as well as shared data objects)

This leads to a consideration of re-locatable BPEL: i.e. BPEL that dehydrates and then rehydrates itself somewhere else on the grid to execute closer to the service and instance data that it is operating on.

It could also lead to Business Rules/Decisions be dealt with in the same way if they were discretely partitioned.
