 Since 2007 AmbientTalk refers to AmbientTalk/2 and Dedecker's original AmbientTalk is no longer in use. A good starting point for reading about the current AmbientTalk language is the [[http://prog.vub.ac.be/Publications/2007/vub-prog-tr-07-17.pdf|SCCC2007 paper]].
-AmbientTalk is actively used as a research tool: it is extended with new language features, either dedicated to further facilitate the development of software for ad hoc networks, or to explore the suitability of the language in new domains. Check out the [[ research:home |research page ]] for more information.
+Since 2014, AmbientTalk has been actively used mainly as an educational tool to introduce master level students to concepts in concurrency and distribution at the Computer Science programs of the VUB.
