Open Systems - Actors and Cloud
In this talk we will show how highly-available stateful Actors provide a flexible and easy to use programming model for the Cloud on the outside, while still allowing for the traditional programming models on the inside.
And, actuall, his Cloud Programmability team is working on something about "Actors and Cloud".
