A Complexity Metric for High-Level Software Languages
Warfield designs a numerical measurement to designate complexity and usability of three computer languages (ADA, Pascal and ALGOL 60) and demonstrates the relative benefits of the three. Presented at 1987 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics, 21-23 October in Alexandria, Virginia/Washington, D.C.

Complexity: A Subject of Inquiry
Semi-autobiographical description of Warfield’s research and the development of his Laws of Complexity. Recognizes Charles S. Peirce and other authors who influenced his approach to philosophy, science and social problem solving. Includes list of Warfield’s publications divided into nine categories: Applications, Education, Graphical Representations, Interactive Human Processes, Mathematics of Modeling, Organizations and Human Behavior, Philosophy, Books & Monographs and Bibliographies.

Complexity: From Origins to Learning Outcomes (DRAFT)
Discusses problems associated with the lack of attention paid to complexity. Suggests that advanced policy study is an appropriate arena in higher education within which attention to complexity is required. Human behavior, Warfield argues, must be changed if complexity is to be dealt with properly. Includes bibliographic presentation of his writings on Complexity.

Compromising the Future: The Problem of Bounding Utility Measures for Technological Endeavors
Discusses the need for a socially responsible science and technology. Suggests the creation of a "Bureau of Standards" that could monitor developments in science and technology and ensure they meet agreed upon standards. Presented at Annual Meeting American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 23 February 1976, Boston, MA.
Appendix to Conducting Collective Inquiry which was Volume 4 of A Sourcebook for Environmental Education. Part one contains a discussion of Interpretive Structural Modeling, the equipment used, strategies for obtaining equipment, a programmer's overview of the software package, a bibliography, documentation of algorithms, and DELTA charts. Part two contains a printout of the complete Fortran program.
