A couple  of years back, one of the major makers were working on Solenoid 
operated  valves.
That makes sense to me. No camshaft. Just a computer controlling  the timing 
for all needs.
I wonder where that Idea went?

Several Diesel manufacturers have electro-hydraulic valve actuation on  
over-the-road truck engines today.  They have been in use for a couple of  years 
now, mostly without incident.  I think Cat was the first, but a few  of them 
have it now.
