50 years ago this year, Carl Hewitt invented the actor model, a computational model embracing non-determinism, which assumes all communication is asynchronous. Non-determinism enables concurrency, ...

Sensory organs capture information from the environment and convert it into neuronal signals that are interpreted by the brain during cognition. This transformation is known as sensory encoding.

Distributed, high-scale applications often come with a hidden tax: the complexity of managing state, concurrency, and scalability across many moving parts. Traditional n-tier architectures can ...

The hardware we rely on is changing rapidly as ever-faster chips are replaced by ever-increasing numbers of cores. As a result, concurrency and parallelism, niche features today, will soon be a basic ...
