The OCCAM Language

Transputers are normally programmed in the computer language OCCAM.

The occam user group is an informal institution that holds meetings and publishes newsletters and such.

In the UK, the parent organisation holds a biannual conference which passes under the unassuming title of a 'technical meeting', it publishes a biannual newsletter, and organises a number of special interest groups. The group secretary is

Because of the Data Protection Act, you will have to sign a piece of paper letting him keep your name on a machine. Membership is however free, thanks to the support of INMOS; all you need to do is to send the secretary your address, he will send you the form. The chairman and general big wheel of the UK group is

The occam mailing list is a mailing list for messages discussing occam, including what the language means, implementations of it, what it gets used for, what's written about it, and that sort of thing. That sort of thing includes my posting occasional oug 'business' messages.
