Actor model

Actor model
In computer science, the Actor model is a mathematical model of concurrent computation that treats "actors" as the universal primitives of concurrent digital computation: in response to a messag...

Actor model and process calculi
In computer science, the Actor model and process calculi are two closely related approaches to the modelling of concurrent digital computation.

Actor model and process calculi history
The Actor model and process calculi share an interesting history and co-evolution.

Actor model implementation
In computer science, Actor model implementation concerns implementation issues for the Actor model.

Actor model theory
In theoretical computer science, Actor model theory concerns theoretical issues for the Actor model.

Denotational semantics of the Actor model
The denotational semantics of the Actor model is the subject of denotational domain theory for Actors.

Futures and promises
In computer science, future, promise, and delay refer to constructs used for synchronizing in some concurrent programming languages.

Indeterminacy in concurrent computation
Indeterminacy in concurrent computation is concerned with the effects of indeterminacy in concurrent computation.

Scientific community metaphor
In computer science, the Scientific Community Metaphor is a metaphor used to aid understanding scientific communities.

Unbounded nondeterminism
In computer science, unbounded nondeterminism or unbounded indeterminacy is a property of concurrency by which the amount of delay in servicing a request can become unbounded as a result o...
