To develop such systems, terms such as open systems, features for open systems such as interoperability, and integration must all be precisely defined. We present a model that is an extension of a servicebased reference model for development environments that can be used to formally define these and other related concepts. %B Journal of Systems and Software %V 35 %P 3 - 14 %8 1996/10// %@ 0164-1212 %G eng %U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0164121295000828 %N 1 %R 10.1016/0164-1212(95)00082-8
