I am familiar with some of the work at Yale.  Paul Hudak's group has done
alot of work with using combinators for evaluating functional languages.
Ben Goldberg did work with combinators to get a parallel reduction engine
on the Intel iPSC.  Juan Guzman is investigating functional/logical
integrations.  I would contact Paul Hudak about all of this work.

Other work - Uday Reddy, John Hughes (Super Combinators), Gary Lindstrom.
