Formal Systems
Over the years, several different formal systems have been developed which permit reasoning about systems in the Actor model. These include:
- Operational semantics
- Laws for Actor systems
- Denotational semantics
- Transition semantics
There are also formalisms that are not fully faithful to the Actor model in that they do not formalize the guaranteed delivery of messages including the following (See Attempts to relate Actor semantics to algebra and linear logic):
- Several different Actor algebras
- Linear logic
