A Primer for the Act-1 Language.

Abstract

This paper describes the current design for the Act-I computer programming language, and describes the Actor computational model, which the language was designed to support. It provides a perspective from which to view the language, with respect to existing computer language systems and to the computer system and environment under development for support of the language . The language is informally introduced in a tutorial fashion and demonstrated through examples. A programming strategy for the language is described, further illustrating its use. (Author)
