Abstract

This paper presents first steps towards a feature model, which can be used to compare actor-oriented, agent-oriented, and object-oriented programming languages. The feature model is derived from the existing literature on general concepts of programming, and validated against Erlang, Jason, and Java. The model acts as a tool to assist practitioners in selecting the most appropriate programming language for a given task, and is expected to form the basis of further high-level comparative studies in this area.
