Abstract: Most large information and communication technology (ICT) systems develop in a piecemeal fashion. Their complexity and evolution is difficult to manage. They lack flexibility. This contrasts sharply with system design in the batch-wise processing industry, where flexibility has always had a high priority. In this industry, the S88 standard plays an important flexibility-enhancing role.
