Provided ‘Remote Apple Events’ are enabled (in sharing preferences), in theory, you can target an application on a remote machine using the following format:

set remoteMachine to "eppc://<ip.of.remote.machine>/"
tell application "System Events" of machine remoteMachine
	shutdown
end tell

However, in practice targetting System Events on a remote machine has proven to be very hit-or-miss. Other applications are fine, it’s just System Events that has issues.
