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. When Compaq was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2002, SRC was merged with other corporate research labs.
After Taylor's retirement, the lab was directed by Roy Levin and then by Lyle Ramshaw.
One important development of the SRC is the Modula-3 programming language.
