=== Overview === In the Actor Model, concurrent systems are composed of multiple independent actors, each having its own internal state and executing concurrently. Actors communicate with each other exclusively by asynchronous message passing, ensuring that actors do not directly share data and that concurrent access to actors is inherently thread-safe. The key features of the Actor Model are: * **Isolation**: Each actor operates independently, encapsulating its state and behavior from other actors. * **Concurrency**: Actors can execute in parallel, allowing for efficient utilization of system resources. * **Asynchronous Message Passing**: Communication between actors is done through message passing, promoting loose coupling and simplicity. * **Location Transparency**: Actors can be distributed across different physical machines, allowing for transparent inter-process and inter-node communication. * **Supervision**: Actors can supervise and control the lifecycle of other actors, ensuring fault-tolerance and system reliability.
