Scala Actors at AGERE! (SPLASH workshop) (?)

To whom is working on or using Scala actors, I would like to bring
your attention to a workshop which will run this year in SPLASH,
called

AGERE!

devoted to foster the discussion and research about

ACTORS and AGENTS

as paradigm for computer programming, as natural evolution (?) of the
OO one,
embracing a decentralized mindset in thinking about problems and
designing, programming systems.

In other words:

"Programming systems, languages, applications
based on agents, actors, and decentralized control"

The workshop is meant to synergetically mesh up ideas, discussion and
results about
agent and actor systems that appeared in many contexts
- from (OO) concurrent programming to distributed AI

but here with a specific objective, which is exploring their value
(and development) as paradigm for computing, designing, programming,

So the workshop would benefit indeed from latest research on Scala
actors and
and/or how Scala actors have been applied to design and program
complex applications,
and/or demos.

We setup also a Google group AGERE! at SPLASH:

https://groups.google.com/group/agere-at-splash?hl=en

open to everyone that would like to discuss and interact about these
topics,
and contribute to the event (which will be in October).

It is like to say: "Let's start the workshop now!".

Best,
Alessandro
