Addressed to potential publishers. This paper serves as a useful bibliography of papers Warfield considered the most important for this time period. Includes abstracts of the papers found in Part 2 and Part 3 of the 529 page compendium titled “Essays on Complexity.” For a list of the titles, see notes field.

A manual containing six papers about complexity that Warfield wrote in 1997. All of them had been previously printed and distributed as separate papers. The paper titles are: “A Platform for Sociotechnical System Design,” “A Role for Formalisms in Integrative Studies,” “Twenty Laws of Complexity: Studies in the Abuse of Reason,” “The Problematique: Evolution of an Idea, “Readings for Bureaucrats,” “Seven Ways to Portray Complexity (Abstract Only),” and “A New Index to Complexity: The Aristotle…

A manuscript collection of 21 papers in three volumes divided by year. See “Essays on Complexity: A Prospectus,” “Essays on Complexity 1988-1994,” “Essays on Complexity 1995-1996” and “Essays on Complexity 1997 (Mid-Year Edition).” See notes field for a list of the paper included.

A table that lists essays sent to W.L. Livingston. Contains three columns with the captions Number, Title, Date Sent, Issue of Publication. Six titles are listed.

Deals with the evaluation of a Regional Environmental Learning System (RELS). Provides a background in evaluation skills and approaches to help identify needs for evaluation, show how to design evaluation studies, and assess the data needed for evaluations, particularly the evaluations of environmental educational programs. Discusses e contexts of local evaluation are discussed: (1) Evaluation by a board of directors, (2) evaluation of impact of inservice, (3) evaluation of bias, (4) evaluation of student achievement,…

Describes suggested improvement for one of Warfield’s ISM algorithms and reports on a study of the Japanese paper, during which the GMU computer CDC CYBER 830 was used to run comparison tests. The tests confirm that the Japanese algorithm is more efficient than the old one published in Societal Systems, at least under the conditions studied. See also, Azuma Ohuchi, M. Kurihara and I. Kaji, “Efficient Procedure for Transitive Coupling in ISM," IEEE:SMC 15:3 (426-431).

Excerpts from the book manuscript for “A Structure-Based Science of Complexity” used as a handout. Presented at 22 October 1999 meeting of Washington Evolutionary Systems Society (WESS), Washington, D.C.

A generic plan for an Interactive Management Workshop, using an example from workshop planning done for Ford Motor Company in 1992. See also, “An Example IM Workshop Plan (1992 Draft)” and “An Example IM Workshop Plan (Restored).”

An excerpt from a CIM Workshop report, this is a set of 14 pages which comprise the table or diagram of a DARPA options field from an August 1987 Interactive Management Workshop.

Manuscript written to accompany the videotape titled DEMO TAPE 1, which was a series of seven excerpts from videotaping of the Ford Product Information Management (PIM) workshop held 14-16 January 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan. For a copy of the video, see “Ford PIM Workshop.” See also, “Demo Tape: Excerpts from FORD PIM Workshop filmed 11-14 Jan. 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan” and "Notes on the Ford Product Information Management (PIMS) Workshop Held During the Period 11-…

Not written by Warfield. May be notes or another author’s paper, possibly Walker Percy.

Surveys research, study and applications needed to bring the new tool of Interpretive Structural Modeling into its full potential. Suggestions include more and better computer programs, training of session leaders, development of the theory of cycles, development of computerized graphical displays and increased help for the use of the process by the non-mathematical user. Presented at Seventh Annual Pittsburgh Conference on Modeling & Simulation, University of Pittsburgh, 26- 28 April 1976.
