Includes four tables along with a table of contents that has summary statements for each of the four tables. Warfield used a slightly later version of his paper during a conference in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 1997. See “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity (Structure-Based School), Generic Design…
Contains syllabus, student roster, correspondence and some of the handouts used during Warfield’s Short Course on Interactive Management at GMU. The full title was “Workshop on Interactive Management, Systems Thinking and Complexity” held 15-18 February 1999 at the Johnson Center, GMU.
A list of 23 books and articles written between 1989 and 2007. Each title is followed by brief annotations. Warfield developed the list in an effort to interest different universities in the establishment of a systems science curriculum.

First appeared in "Education in Generic Design."
This is just a one page pdf of scanned graphics, to help keep the titles all straight.
