Aim of this project was to enhance the performance in message passing. As a reference implementation Akka [1] was used. Results of the research shown that intra-thread-communication is much better than inter-thread-communication. You can group actors, so they are bound to the same thread, for instance. Message queues of the actors are outsourced to the thread. The four principles of reactive manifesto [2] and the four semantic properties [3] of actor systems have been applied. The actor system is from extern accessible by the REST-API or by a websocket. Between the server nodes (cluster configuration) are websockets for message transfer established. Time consuming tasks can be outsourced to ResourceActor's, which are executed by an extra ThreadPool. So the responsiveness of the actor system therfore will not tangented.
