 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 the computer sciences, An open system is a collection of interacting software, hardware, and human components
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.

 Encyclopedia4U - X Window System - Encyclopedia Article
The X Window System is a window system for computers with bitmap graphical displays created at MIT in the 1980s and now under the supervision of X.Org.
The X Window System was initially conceived in 1984, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a joint project between their Laboratory for Computer Science and the Digital Equipment Corporation.
The initial impetus for the X Window System was MIT's Project Athena, which sought to provide easy access to computing resources for all students.

 Maximum Press : Home : AS/400 Encyclopedia : Open systems computing
Although open-systems computing has come to mean UNIX to many people, the notion of open-system computing is actually much broader.
Portability means that it is possible to move applications, data, and people from one vendor or computer architecture to another.
Four benefits are derived from the achieving of the open-systems computing capability:

Support for client/server computing was the first strategy.
Open systems are not confined to the UNIX operating system.
Most proprietary operating systems have moved to the operating system standard to provide an open computing environment.

 Open Access
Open access computing also provides great utility and convenience for students who need to conduct research in the Library, or who need to exchange information with faculty or other students via electronic mail, or who need to use computing resources in the context of their academic work.
This type of computing is a major component of academic computing, yet it has not been funded to date.
Usage of “instructional computing” resources (i.e., computing laboratories used in instruction) is rationed by various scheduling processes which restrict access to those enrolled in a few, specific, courses.

 open system - a Whatis.com definition
In a computing context, an open system is an open source operating system, typically composed of coordinated modular components from a number of sources and not reliant upon any proprietary elements.
According to the Open Systems Joint Task Force, an open system "uses widely supported and consensus-based standards for its key interfaces, and has been subjected to successful validation and verification tests to ensure the openness of its key interfaces." Today, Linux is generally considered a prime example of an open system.
In a more general context, an open system is one that accepts input from external sources and produces output.

 Seams Can Show Seams Can Show Open System
Over the years, open systems computing platforms, which are basically networks of mini-computers running Unix, OpenVMS, Windows NT Server or several other server operating systems, have been proffered by vendors as a much cheaper substitute for mainframe computing platforms.
Without effective systems and applications management, “soft costs” for operating open systems computing environments over time often exceed the costs of traditional data center operations.
Systems management has been a part of VHA’s computing strategy since its inception, Rucker said.

In the beggining of computer hardware evolution, IBM was the single source vendor for mainframe computers.
Following the open system model, software can be built on components instead of creating software monoliths difficult to modify and extend.
The highest-level priciple of an open system is to optimize the whole rather than the parts.
