Dependability of open systems

2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW), 2013
This presentation demonstrates an innovative way to build a target system maintaining its dependability in an open system environment, where the boundary of the target system is blurred in the sense that interaction with its surrounding environment is always altered due to several environmental changes such as business objectives, stakeholders ...

The meaning of open systems

Journal of Economic Methodology, 2005
Thinking about the economy in terms of systems has a long pedigree, but the terminology of openness and closure in economics is attracting increasing attention. It is apparent that these terms are being employed differently, not only between mainstream and non-mainstream economists but also within non-mainstream economics.

Communications and open systems

Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium, 2009
The ultimate purpose of communications is understanding each other. Natural languages play the central role of communications, but other means such as gestures, facial expression, and gaze in the situations are equally important. Physical and social common sense is indispensable, and the historical backgrounds of nations, regions, families, and ...

Open systems standards

IEEE Network, 1987
As described in the last issue, the new family of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standards is in an advanced state of maturity with the majority of key aspects either fully approved or near final approval. The family of OSI standards is made up of several components.

Open Systems Interconnection

IBM Systems Journal, 1986
The subject of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standardization is becoming increasingly important to the telecommunications and information processing communities. A number of OSI standards have been completed, others are near completion, and initial product offerings by vendors have begun.

Enzymes Are Open Systems

IUBMB Life, 2000
AbstractThe exchange of mass, energy, and information with the environment typical of open systems can also be found in enzymes. An enzyme is able to receive information on substrate concentration in an arbitrary concentration range. This actually follows from the elementary solution of Michaelis‐Menten kinetics. The Michaelis constant can be seen as a

Fluctuations in Open Systems

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1969
The probability of occurrence of fluctuations around nonequilibrium steady states or states slowly varying in time is discussed from a kinetic viewpoint. The limitations of the thermodynamic theory of fluctuations are investigated. It is shown that in a large class of far-from-equilibrium systems, described by a discrete set of variables, it is ...

Security of open systems

Computers & Security, 1989
As an enhancement to ISO's Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model, ECMA defines a security framework for distributed systems which is based on the concepts of security domains and security facilities. This paper describes a functional decomposition of the security of distributed systems, thus providing building blocks which can be specified and ...

Open systems standardization

Proceedings of the 1984 annual conference of the ACM on The fifth generation challenge - ACM 84, 1984
A major challenge in the Fifth Generation is the integration of tens, hundreds or even thousands of information processing systems into cooperative application networks. For example, computer aided engineering, factory automation, tactical command and control, and videotex information services, all represent challenging but accessible applications for ...

Verification of open systems

1997
In computer system design, we distinguish between closed and open systems. A closed system is a system whose behavior is completely determined by the state of the system. An open system is a system that interacts with its environment and whose behavior depends on this interaction.
