According to the WikiPedia[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model] "the actor model in computer science is a mathematical model of concurrent computation that treats "actors" as the universal primitives of concurrent digital computation: in response to a message that it receives, an actor can make local decisions, create more actors, send more messages, and determine how to respond to the next message received."

  • Francesco Cesarini and Viktor Klang on the Reactive Manifesto[2].
