  DEC Systems Research Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Systems Research Center (SRC) was a research laboratory created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1984, in Palo Alto, California.
DEC SRC was founded by a group of computer scientists, led by Robert Taylor, who left the Computer Science Laboratory (CSL) of Xerox PARC after an internal power struggle.
SRC survived the takeover of DEC by Compaq in 1998.

 Digital Equipment Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DEC was acquired by Compaq, which subsequently merged with Hewlett-Packard.
DEC tried to compete in the Unix market by marketing the VMS operating system as "OpenVMS" and by selling their own Unix (OSF/1 AXP, later renamed Digital UNIX, and even later Tru64), and it began to advertise more aggressively.
DEC was simply not prepared to sell into a crowded Unix market however, and furthermore the low end PC-servers running NT (based on Intel processors) took market share from Alpha-based computers.

 Modula-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was designed by Luca Cardelli, Jim Donahue, Mick Jordan, Bill Kalsow and Greg Nelson at the DEC Systems Research Center and Olivetti in the late 1980s.
Its design was heavily influenced by work on the Modula-2+ language in use at DECSRC at the time, which was the language in which the operating system for the DEC Firefly multiprocessor VAX workstation was written.
Systems Programming with Modula-3 The definitive reference on the Modula-3 language with interesting articles on object-oriented systems software construction and a documentation of the discussion leading to the final features of the language.

 Dissertation on Translucent Sums Available   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Module systems with such facilities are called higher-order, by analogy with higher-order functions.
Previous higher-order module systems can be classified as either "opaque" or "transparent." Opaque systems totally obscure information about the identity of type components of modules, often resulting in overly abstract types.
Transparent systems, on the other hand, completely reveal type identities by inspecting module implementations, which subverts data abstraction and prevents separate compilation.

 Research Proposal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Our central research goal is to define and analyze novel garbage collection algorithms for server platforms which are based on reference counting.
In particular, it is acceptable in such systems to suspend all execution threads while a centralized garbage collection process is compacting the heap.
Thus, garbage collectors for server systems should be concurrent meaning that the garbage collector is executing in parallel to the user threads (AKA, mutator threads.) It is preferable that synchronization between the garbage collector thread and the mutators be kept as low as possible.
