Hi,
It's been about 6 months since I last actively used Oz, just wondering
what the status is. Is it still being worked on behind the scenes?
Cheers,

At UCL we're working on several Mozart-related topics, in the areas of
distribution, security, constraints, human-computer interfaces, and teaching
programming.
Regarding the Mozart system and the Oz language itself, we are mainly
working on the DSS (Distribution Subsystem: it factors out distribution from
the rest of the emulator, provides more protocols, provides better
orthogonality
and control, has better fault detection, and can do reflective routing),
P2PS (a
library providing communication among a dynamically changing set of sites,
using a structured overlay network), and P2PKit (an architecture to write
decentralized applications on top of P2PS, using components as the basic
units).
One goal is that P2PS will be used by the DSS for its routing (via the
reflective
routing interface). See p2ps.info.ucl.ac.be and p2pkit.info.ucl.ac.be.
We plan
for the next release of Mozart to use the DSS for distributed programming.
I would like to mention also the Avispa group in Colombia at the Universidad
del Valle and the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, led by Camilo Rueda and
Juan Diaz, who are mainly working on constraint programming in Mozart.
