This is exactly the though-train i am following now. The only one
subsystem that I have identified so far, is the "Spatial Database" -
and that could run on multiple components too. There was actualy
quite a research in this area, although they would be not directly
applicable to PWs. ("papers like: Performance of Data-Parallel
Spatial Operations" etc.)  There has even been research done for
path-finding for distributed databases...
