Actor Model Later History

In computer science, the Actor model, first published in 1973 (Hewitt et al. 1973), is a mathematical model of concurrent computation. This article reports on the later history of the Actor model in which major themes were investigation of the basic power of the model, study of issues of compositionality, development of architectures, and application to Open systems. It is the follow on article to Actor model middle history which reports on the initial implementations, initial applications, and development of the first proof theory and denotational model.

Famous quotes containing the words actor, model and/or history:

    I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don’t remember ever having seen one weep.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    I’d like to be the first model who becomes a woman.
    Lauren Hutton (b. 1944)

    They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
