    Prediction: open systems will continue to crush closed ones. Why? The obvious reason is that open ones are fitter in an evolutionary sense. An application that almost hits the mark is easily superceded by one that scores a bullseye. ... 🔎 full text search for '2004 04 12 telepocalypse open systems will continue to crush closed ones' pull ...

    Open systems are only just beginning to be fairly widely discussed, however, and definitions vary. So the paper I am going to deliver explores open systems, often by contrast to closed ones, using the General Theory as an example. I hope that this will help others to construct new open-system theories to meet new challenges.

    So in what follows I will talk about 'open systems' versus 'closed systems', which differ simply in the difficulty in finding and fixing a security vulnerability. In May 2002, I proved a controversial theorem [8]: that, under the standard assumptions of reliability growth theory, it does not matter whether the system is open or closed.
  4. Definitions of closed and open systems are examined. It is evident that there are many different criteria which may define open systems. Theorists differ in their emphasis on one or other criterion. There are also different dimensions of openness: openness to non-economic factors; the openness of economic theories themselves; the interplay of ...
  5. Dow (2002: 139-140) itemises the features of a closed system as follows: i. all relevant variables can be identified; ii. the boundaries of the system can be specified, so that it is clear which variables are exogenous and which are endogenous; these categories are fixed; iii. only the specified exogenous variables affect the system, and they do this in a known way (Dow says "predetermined ...

  6. The tendency for a closed system to become disorganized (the amount of disorder in a system -- disorder is more probable than order in a random system) Second Principle of Thermodynamics: Entropy will continue to increase until the system weakens and eventually ceases to exist. no regulation = total shutdown
  7. This was on this exact subject of open vs closed architectures and, given the audience and the conference stature, I had tried to make it as even handed and fair as possible. I went back through that presentation and the arguments it put forward; they were necessarily brief given the time to present but I still think they stand up today as the ...

    1 The Critical Realist Conception of Open and Closed Systems Steve Fleetwood Abstract The critical realist (CR) conception of open and closed (O&C) systems is not about systems: it is about (ir)regularities in the flux of events and states of affairs.It has recently been criticised on the grounds that critical realists (CRs) should take on board ideas about the general

    complex systems, which often involve a vast number of firms and grow ever bigger, due, for instance, to network effects, both direct and indirect.2 These systems are called 'ecosystems' in view of the significant number of products and services involved and of the symbiotic link between them. Furthermore, in
