Abstract
With increased access to computer-based information sources and the growth of national information infrastructures, society is shifting to one that is informationbased. The result of this shift is new types of workers and new applications; both will become the driving forces behind the evolution of systems, particularly open systems. What is required, then, is a broader view of an “open system”.
