Not exactly...

In the context of providing webservices, the nodes are not just
"workers" under the control of a central scheduler, they're
webservice servers in their own right, they need a p2p
communication protocol to exchange information with each other,
in particular to communicate database updates and resolve any
conflicts.

What I'm looking for is a system of sysadmin tools and
middleware to manage this distributed flow of information.

Greetings, Norbert.
