A similar idea?

Q

I think that people have had a similar idea for a number of years. Check answers.com for a good description of a network computer.

A:

The "network computer" has been in the air now for almost a decade. However, there has been no consensus as to what that actually is. My contribution is to come up with a system that works without any kind of centralization. It is the dream of Microsoft, Google, etc. to centralize the Internet on their own servers.

My solution is architecture-oriented. It is an object-oriented Web Service protocol (and, of course, the server that implements it) that enables objects created by different organizations on different servers to behave as if they are in one virtual space - without endangering security or mandating a central point of control.
