Mixing the actor model with other concurrency models in a single program can break the
actor abstraction. This increases the chance of creating deadlocks and data races—two …

Actor programs are concurrent programs where concurrent entities communicate
asynchronously by exchanging messages. Testing actor programs is challenging because …

The need for concurrency in modern software is increasingly fulfilled by utilizing the
message passing paradigm because of its modularity and scalability. In the message …

The actor model is a model of concurrent programming that consists of concurrent entities
called actors. Actors communicate using asynchronous messages, and depending on the …

In a message-passing system (MPS), components communicate through messages.
However, both the time and order in which messages are delivered depend on the …

Distributed Systems, that is systems that must tolerate partial failures while exploiting
parallelism, are a fundamental part of the software landscape today. Yet, their development …

Concurrent programs are hard to test because of the non-determinism inherit in them. Since
non-determinism is one of the major sources of bugs, it is important to to be tested. We …
