There was a talk about the use of Remote Services from Neil Bartlett at EclipseCon 2014.  It was called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp2sVAmgrSA Scaling and Orchestrating Microservices with OSGi].  About midway through the talk he discusses the use of Remote Services.  Sadly, he doesn't use ECF's open implementation of RSA, but he does make some interesting points about the utility of using Remote Services for scaling microservices across processes.
