272 ;;Quote: open systems deal with large quantities of diverse information and massive concurrency; asynchronous, decentralized, inconsistent, continuous
273 ;;Quote: an open system must deal with inconsistent information; e.g., decisions based on partial evidence
273 ;;Quote: in an open system, control must be distributed so that local decisions are made where needed; uses local information
273 ;;Quote: the parts of an open system only keep track of own state and interfaces to other agents; use explicit communication
273 ;;Quote: open systems must be designed so that operating components take over from failed components during repair
275 ;;Quote: open systems should use due process--organized gathering of information for decision-making under constraints; provides a record
