My suggesionts:
1. Have a variable system built into all OSes which have internet
interface which can allocate space and resources as per what amount of
space and resources are free on the OS.
2. Let a separate new internet layer decide from where to pull data and
where to be put on which system where there is space. This could be
auotmatically encrypted and sent over the net and whereever there is free
space it can put up to be processed or delivered as a service from a
webserver. This same layer based on priorities of the data to be
processed or delivered on net as per required could also decide on
criticality and send it to free systems on internet.
It would be interesting to see whether such a system could be made to work
- the system I've seen that most resembles what you speak of is BOINC, the
Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing - see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boinc> for details.
A separate, but also interesting, question is what parts of the system can
be usefully standardized.
