About Actor Model
Professor Carl Hewitt published the famous paper Actor model of computation in 1974. In the thesis, he elaborates that:
An Actor is a computational entity that, in response to a message it receives, can concurrently:
- send a finite number of messages to other Actors;
- create a finite number of new Actors;
- designate the behavior to be used for the next message it receives.
With the rise of multi-core computing and large-scale distributed systems, the Actor Model is becoming increasingly important because of its natural concurrent, parallel, and distributed.
