Contains abstract, written proposal, a list of ten transparencies and a handout. Abstract discusses the relationship between complexity and interdisciplinary work. Introduces and explores five schools of thought concerning the nature of complexity and how it should be viewed.

Illustrates several key points with regard to the effective use of symbolic languages. Proposes that the Interpretive Structural Modeling process can be effective in giving the lay person, untutored in mathematics or logic, an access to a `metalanguage' and thereby to a potentially broad array of symbolic languages and a broad modeling capability.

A newsletter article written for the Battelle Memorial Institute quarterly.

Letter electing Warfield to Board of Governors of International Society for Panetics.

Computer printouts, dated 13 January 1995, of the Problematique produced by the students in their ISM session. Includes a description of the type of interpretation and analysis of Problematiques that should be expected from an IM Facilitator. The purpose of the document was not only to report results from a typical Interpretive Modeling Session (as a learning experience), but also to demonstrate and describe Interactive Management methodology to students who had experienced it for the…

A comprehensive overview of Interpretive Structural Modeling, including an account of the historical development of the use of ISM and a long bibliography. Submitted for publication in the journal Decision Sciences, but not accepted, however still significant because it reveals IBM interest and knowledge about ISM in the early 1980's. The file folder includes correspondence between the three authors.

A supplement to the June 1980 bibliography of the same title, this report contains 22 additional titles, with annotations, of papers dealing with the topic of structural modeling, interpretative structural modeling, or significantly similar fields of study. The revised 1990 edition combines both. See “Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work: Annotated Bibliography, Revised Edition (Part 1)” and “Annotated Bibliography: Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, Revised 1990 Edition (Part 2).”

Click here for part 2. All of the books and papers listed in this bibliography were published between the years 1959-1981. They are all related in some way to the development of Warfield's Interactive Management methodology. This edition is a combination of three previous bibliographies: “Interpretive Structural Modelling and Related Work, 1980;” “Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, Supplement #1, 1981;” and “Digest of Annotated Bibliography: Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, 1982.” Written by…

A general description of ISM, its development, intellectual history, and uses. Due to space limitations, the mathematical theory is omitted, but references are provided for other works by Warfield which contain this theory.
