  Open system (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open systems are computer systems that provide either interoperability, portability, or freedom from proprietary standards, depending on user's perspective.
Since the emergence of The Open Group's Single UNIX Specification, any operating system that supports the Unix APIs (z/OS, for example) can reasonably be classed as an open system.
Consequently the IBM mainframe with its open source Linux on zSeries is now widely regarded as a truly open system — it runs more Linux instances than any server, after all — while servers running proprietary, closed source UNIX and Microsoft Windows are not.

 Open system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, an open system (computing) is a computer operating system that provides interoperability, portability or both, particularly Unix systems.
In management science, an open system (system theory) is a system that takes in (raw materials, capital, skilled labor) and converts them into goods and services (via machinery, human skills) that are sent back to that environment, where they are bought by customers.
In the physical sciences, an open system (system theory) is a system where matter or energy can flow into and/or out of, in contrast to a closed system, where no energy or matter may enter or leave.

 [No title]
Open money is synonymous with LETS - an invitation to come inside and play, as in open door and open house; collaboration as in open hand and open for all; attitude as in open mind.
The open money project is a work in progress - a continuation of almost 20 years of LETSystem development all over the world, two community way projects in Canada using smart cards, the Japan open money project, and, most recently, a community currencies server program, cybercredits.
The intent is to develop an open money kernel - a core set of text files, administration tools and software systems that are sufficiently coherent and clear that further elaboration of the set derives from the core concepts themselves, rather than from the particular agendas of the originating writers and contributors.

 Objectivism, Chapter 5 of Truth and Toleration
A system that tried to embrace every viewpoint, in a spirit of ecumenism, would not be a philosophy; it would be a vague and contradictory hash.
In an open system, however; these limits are set by fundamental Principles: the system is defined by the essential tenets that distinguish it from other viewpoints.
If Objectivism is to survive and flourish as a system of thought, it must attract philosophers who will build on Ayn Rand's discoveries, using them as a base for an assault on specific problems in philosophy and drawing out their implications for other disciplines such as economics, psychology, or literary theory.

 The Open Hyperdocument System: An Open System for Collaborative Knowledge Work
Fundamentally, the solution to these problems is the same: a system that manages the flow of information, the addition of new information, and the access to and sharing of knowledge.
For a knowledge management system to be truly useful, it must extend the capability of legacy document formats to support hyperlinking and addressability.
While we continue to extend the system to support multiple views and other types of legacy document formats, we will begin to focus more of our efforts on improving the user interface, so that the system is well integrated and easy to use.

 Knowledge-Domain Interoperability and an OHS
In an open hyperdocument system, basic standards for document architecture are of course important.
Two unique issues differentiate this new environment from document-support systems to date: (1) interlinking between objects arbitrarily located within a large, multi-topic and extended-history document and data collection; and (2) extensive, concurrent, online utilization for creating, studying, organizing and linking within and between the many overlapping and nested knowledge domains.
One of the first projects of this community would be to collaborate on the requirements for an open hyperdocument system, and on a procurement approach.

 Open System for Geniuses - by Chronostalker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is true that Mackey’s theory of imprimitivity systems is important for the theory of group representations, but it can not be replaced by the theory of group representations - unless we move into the realms of infinite dimensional groups of maps - where the ground becomes shaky.
But when the system is not Galilei invariant, when there are external forces, or when we move to special or general relativity, the position becomes the fundamental observable, independent of any group considerations.
Moreover, in open systems, and all realistic systems are open, states are represented by density matrices, not by "waves".
