ISM was used to assist a planning and zoning commission and a city council in setting priorities as part of a five-year capital improve- ments plan. A separate exercise was conducted for each of the two groups. One exercise was carried out manually, the other involved an interactive computer system. Priority structures for each group are presented, and a discussion of ISM in this context is included.

A corporate office report composed for Science and Human Affairs Program at Battelle Memorial Institute. Led Warfield to begin exploring books and articles on the subject of complexity and laid the groundwork for his later work.

An annual report to the Provost of George Mason University. Lists courses, publications, grants and other information relevant to the Institute for the Advanced Study of Integrative Sciences.

An index of Warfield’s documents divided into categories that he developed. The categories are Infrastructure of Science, Sciences, Applications of Science and Organization (The Site of Application of Science). Within each category there are also subfields. Also includes the physical description (transparencies, bibliographies, books, courses, papers, proposals and reports) and whether they are part of a work-in-progress.

Deals with ethics taught as part of curriculum of engineering education. Submitted to IEEE SPECTRUM.

Brief history of the development of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM).

Talk given that discusses the need for management to be responsive to the “17 Laws of Complexity” by use of structural models and good group processes. Explanation of how Interactive Management (IM) support system utilizes these strategies. Presented at Science & Technology Agency of Japan Symposium, 14-15 November 1994, Miel Parque Hotel, Tokyo, Japan. See also, the Warfield IASIS report titled "Origins & Remedies for Situational Complexity in Organizations” which includes transparencies used for talk.

A proposal to The Software Productivity Consortium that explores of the defects of the ADA software language. Involves study of its syntax and suggests that Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) techniques would help create a higher-order software language free of ADA defects. Part 1 of 2.

Collection of documents on Generic Design related to an unfinished project and/or produced as Warfield began to write A Science of Generic Design. Includes documents entitled “Structure of Precedence of Papers on Design,” “Concepts for Structuring Large Systems,” “Recent Works,” “Questions Answered by Papers on Design” and “Advances in Generic Design Science.”

Presentation that discussed the Alberts Pattern. Delivered at the Industrial and Systems Engineering Conference, ITESM, Campus Leacuteon, Mexico, 31 January 1997. For further information on the Alberts Pattern, see Institute for the Advanced Study of Integrative Sciences (IASIS) report titled “Contrasts” which was presented at the 19 November session of NASA Systems Requirements 4 (REQ4), a Short Course held at Holiday Inn Executive Center, Greenwich Rd, Virginia Beach, VA, 17-22 November 1996.

Memo written to Ben Broome and David Keever. Includes suggestions for improving facilitation methods with the Nominal Group Technique during meetings, and solicits feedback.
