Gul Agha, his students and colleagues have done a lot of work in applying the actor model to distributed (and even mobile) systems. You might want to look into Salsa for some interesting examples. Erlang, of course, has a long history and proven track-record, so there are lots of lessons to be learned there too. I started developing Humus because I couldn't find an accessible pure-actor implementation. _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
