Here at UMBC, I'm teaching a senior level class called "Parallel
Programming in occam," which seems to be gaining in popularity.
We have several B004 cards in AT clones, connected to B003's, and
also are running occam under VMS.

As far as transputer oriented research, I'm interested in trying
parallel graph reduction for the lambda or combinator calculus,
but am still doing background reading. (Hindly & Seldin, Peyton Jones,
etc.)
