Actor Framework Documents
RFC
As suggested some weeks ago, here is a non-implementation based approach to explain the AF.
Until today, it is only a rough draft still unformated. If you find typos, you may keep them 
I'm planning on amending this presentation with an explanation of messaging schemes and further refining
Please feel free to comment and to quote in your own documents.

Update: included messaging schemes, but still no formatting or fancy graphics. No further updates scheduled before returning from holiday beginning of Feb 
Version 5: content / wording revised, added some graphical representation, some more strange examples based on this ppt; there will be a session on the German VIP days (Oct. 23rd 2013)
Version 6: included community feedback. Thanks a lot!
Version7: pptx as used for presentation at the German VIP days. Feedback I got: the presentation title is a bit misleading, the audience really expected an AF implementation on a real-world application, so I'll probably rename this for future versions. Changed Actor / Subactor view for the synchronous messaging example.
Version8: changed title along with some updates for clarification
Hi Oli
Great analogy. I love it 
P.S. It may a bit harsh to fire the Sub Actor ... Couldn't he just be a consultant?

Well... my colleague who went through the presentation gave the following feedback:
"Now I know, I'm a sub-actor looking forward to the idle state. Unfortunately my task scheduling is not working properly still I'm hoping not to get unloaded because of this"
I think he got the gist of the matter 
Nice document. I dont understand what you mean by "By training, they can be extended", on the "Training" slide. What do you mean by training? Do you just mean that methods can be added to Actors in order to give them abilities that they need to do their jobs? Also, when you say "Extension can also be achieved by delegation", do you mean that if an Actor does not have an ability needed to fufill a portion of a job, that Actor can delegate that task to a different Actor (by instantiating it)?
