Data-Centricity

I suppose that software's malleability is one reason I first heard about the contrast between data/state and process/sequence in the SW engineering domain. It seems like this tension continues to evolve as technology changes...imperative vs. functional programming, SOA vs. REST, etc.

EMC's latest technology, Maui, is an interesting take on an object-centric world where processing related to storage policy is highly decentralized. A short article describing it appeared recently in The Register.
