Not Erlang per se, but Erlang is really an implementation of the Actor 
formalism.  You'll find a lot if you google on things like:
"actor model"
"actor formalism"
planner (the computer language)
"Carl Hewitt" - the father of the actor formalism

be warned, if you google on "artifical intelligence" + actors - you'll 
get lots of pages on A.I. the movie :-)
