Code management automation for Erlang remote actors
Adrian Francalanza, Tyron Zerafa · 2013
Distributed Erlang provides mechanisms for spawning actors remotely through its remote spawn BIF. For remote spawn to function properly, the node hosting the spawned actor must share the same codebase as that of the node launching the actor. This assumption turns out to be too strong for various distributed settings. We propose a higher-level framework for the remote spawn of side-effect free actors, abstracting from codebase migration and management.
