Abstract: The past decade has witnessed a movement within the astronomical software community towards {\it Open Systems}. This trend has allowed projects and users to build customized processing systems from existing components. We present examples of user-customizable systems that can be built from existing tools, based on commonly-used infrastructure: a parameter interface library, FITS file format, Unix, and the X Windows environment. With these common tools, it is possible to produce customized analysis systems and automated reduction pipelines.
