However, a ReadersWriter scheduler must be able to receive more read and write messages even while it is still processing a message as explained in https://www.amazon.com/Inconsistency-Robustness-Studies-Logi... Even so, a ReadersWriter scheduler must obey the Mutual Exclusion Principle, which says that only one activity can execute in an Actor at a time. Another common misunderstanding is that…

Instead, an Actor (e.g. a ReadersWriters scheduler) performs internal queuing when required. See https://www.amazon.com/Inconsistency-Robustness-Studies-Logi...
