The System Development Foundation, formerly chief stockholder in the System Development Corporation (SDC) has increased its resources by more than $60 million through the sale of SDC to the Burroughs Corporation. Part of this base is to be deployed in grants to advance the information sciences, funding basic research in spatial and. content information theory, classification, and information structures; the principles of representation in biological and machine information processing; the principles underlying the man-machine interface; and the interface between the computer and artistic endeavor.
