Not a new article, but made newly relevant to me as I begin planning a new, distributed project, Roger Voss has sage words in Distributed OSGi - Tilting at Windmills: Don't do it. But if you are going to do it, take precautions.
I have heard the same advice all my career starting with C and UNIX, yet Roger can still point out how often non-veteran developers founder between Scylla and Charybdis.

Unfortunately Roger did not take the time to understand Distributed OSGi. It's not a new invention of anything, just a way to configure existing distributed software systems into an OSGi framework. Check the RI at Apache CXF
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF/Distributed+OSGi and
the early draft design doc referenced in the docs for clarification. It's unfortunate because this misconception comes up a lot, i.e. about what Distributed OSGi is.
