Writing concurrent desktop applications in an actor-based programming model
2010
Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Multicore Software Engineering - IWMSE '10
GUI frameworks, like Swing, are typically not thread-safe. Desktop applications are thus often written in a purely singlethreaded, event-based style. Introducing threads into such applications is not an easy task as potentially all parts of the application may be affected by this change. Instead of using a thread-based programming model, actor models are regaining attention lately. The actor-based CoBox model is based on isolated object-oriented components communicating via asynchronous method
