A list of itemized corrections of The Mathematics of Structure along with scanned copies of Warfield’s handwritten corrections as they appear in the book.

Argues that the development of an effective connection between system science and science has been limited because of language and that a “transdisciplinary language” is necessary. Written as background for a panel presentation titled “Science and Systems Science” at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting of the Society for General Systems Research, San Francisco, California, 8 January 1980.

This is the original version of a paper that would be later published (“Learning Through Model Building”). This version differs in that it Warfield discusses Harary’s work in graph theory in greater detail and on Warfield’s view of how Interpretive Structural Modeling should become useful in group learning. Presented at a Symposium on Computer-Assisted Analysis & Model Simplification, sponsored by U.S. Dept. Energy, on 24 March 1980, at University of Colorado, Boulder.

This is the original manuscript marked with handwritten notes and slides for “On the Design of Language for System Design” prepared for a talk before the European Conference on Cybernetics and Systems-EMCSR, at the University of Vienna, Austria, 4-8 April 1988. The manuscript portion of the talk was published but the transparencies were not.

A thought piece Warfield composed while working on his book manuscript “A Work Program of Complexity,” which was later published under the title Understanding Complexity. Includes a list of the titles Warfield considered most relevant to complexity.

An annotated list of 15 articles, papers reports and seminar presentations on the Great University of which Warfield was either author or participant.

This seminar combined both lectures and Interactive Management sessions. Participants were senior managers from the National Marine Fisheries Service, assembled in a group setting to examine "underlying philosophies and directions of the current NMFS and plans for the NMFS of the 1990's" in methodologies guided by staff members of Center for Interactive Management. It was a training experience for the NMFS personnel, as well as a beginning attempt to work toward policy changes in preparation…

Original manuscript with a five page introductory section and a discussion of seven different methodologies used in group design. They are: Brainwriting (Ideawriting), Nominal Group Technique (NGT), Delphi, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), Options Field Method, Options Profile Method, and Trade-off Analysis Method (TAM).

A two page outline of a talk Warfield gave at a work group meeting at an International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) meeting in Tampa, Florida on 2 February 2003. See “The Work Program of Complexity: Presentation.”

This folder contains four sections: 1) the course syllabus for PUAD 729 2) Study Questions on Peter Senge's book A Fifth Discipline 3. “Twelve Laws of Generic Design” 4) copy of the article "Complexity and Cognitive Equilibrium: Experimental Results and Their Implications" by Warfield.
