Abstract
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) refers to communications between computer systems which can freely exchange information by virtue of their mutual adherence to a set of standards. The standards in question are based on an architechtural model of communications systems, known as the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI). This model is the starting point for looking at OSI, and provides a much needed framework for the orderly development of standards for information interchange.
