Referee's Comments in a Nutshell
Formal letter of protest sent to editors of Systems Research regarding the selection of an anonymous reader for Warfield’s manuscript "Hypothesis Generation (Abduction)," which had been rejected.
This is one of two manuals given as handouts for the Simpsons-Dagli-Alberts Systems Science Program Short Course held 11-15 July 2007 in Sheffield, Alabama. The documents are chiefly figures or copies of PowerPoint slides, interspersed with written text by Warfield. See also, “Systems Science in a University Setting- Emails,” “Systems Science in a University Setting-Part 2-Structural Presentations,” and "Systems Science in a University Setting - Notes, with List of Materials."

The Aristotle Index: Measuring Complexity in the Twenty-First Century
Discusses how, with the assistance from a computer, groups can construct a massive flow chart that can be used to measure the relative complexity of any given problem situation. Warfield used engineering flow chart from Ford Motor Company Workshop as example and as a way to explain the concepts of transitivity and complexity measurement. This is a shortened version of a more technical paper, “A New Index of Complexity: The Aristotle Index.” Presented at World…

Systems Science Serves Enterprise Integration: A Tutorial
Discusses and describes the Work Program of Complexity (WPOC). Argues that following the WPOC yields predictable portfolio components, consisting of a well-defined mix of tangible and intangible products. Moreover, when utilized appropriately it can eliminate the three causes of poor intellectual productivity identified by Kenneth Boulding. This paper is the tutorial for a follow-up article titled: “Enterprise Integration of Product Development Data: Systems Science in Action.”
