What are the difference between the following terms?

  • agent-based programming
  • agent-based programming with microagents
  • actor-based programming
  • actor-based programming with lightweight actors
  • dataflow based programming

It is hard to find comparing articles and they are very similar. Afaik they have different constraints and they are implemented on a different abstraction level, but I need some reassurance...
