Abstract Combining the actor-model with shared memory for performance is efficient but can introduce data-races. Existing approaches to static data-race freedom are based on uniqueness and immutability, but lack flexibility and high performance ...

A key idea in object-oriented programming is that objects encapsulate state and interact with each other by message exchange. This perspective suggests a model of computation that is inherently concurrent (to facilitate simultaneous message exchange) ...

Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) researchers have successfully developed a range of agent programming languages that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Unfortunately, despite the in-community success of these languages, they have proven less ...

Actors provide concurrent, distributed, and event-driven autonomous objects which communicate asynchronously. Actor model benefits from higher level of scalability and actor programs are less error-prone in comparison to programs developed in other ...

The processing power of modern many core hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) or coprocessors is increasingly available for general-purpose computation. The seamless way of actor systems to addresses concurrent and distributed programming ...

Multiple mature implementations of the actor model of concurrency exist. Besides several ones available for the Java Virtual Machine, there are others, for example, written in SmallTalk or in C++, targeting native platforms or other virtual machines. ...
