Abstract: We describe a hierarchical model for coordination of concurrent activities based on grouping actors into casts and coordinating casts by actors that are designated directors. The hierarchical model provides a simple, intuitive basis for actor communication and coordination. Casts serve as abstraction units for naming, migration, synchronization and load balancing. Messengers are actors used to send messages with special behaviour across casts. Moreover, an implementation of the hierarchical... (Update)

.... actor from a malicious theater could be accomplished by requiring the explicit authorization of messages using a hierarchy of directors [36]. Casts of actors coordinated by a given director can also be used as a coarser unit of migration, in a spirit similar to Mobile Ambients...
