Comparison of high-level concurrency models?

I'm looking for a comparison of high-level concurrency models such as 
Actors, Tuplespace, Software Transactional Memory, and others that I 
may not have heard of.

It's easy to find general information on each of these models, but I was 
unable to dig up any comparison that provides an idea when, where, and 
why one of these models more suitable relative to the others.

My very vague impression is that Actors are en vogue again due to the 
interest that Erlang is attracting. Tuplespaces (Linda, Jini) appear to 
have fallen into even deeper obscurity. STM seems to attract an odd 
mixture of hard-core FP and industry people.

Anyhow, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Michael
