Collection of papers related to electronic meetings systems lab established at the University of Arizona at Tucson. Warfield saw this lab as the antithesis of Interactive Management. (The papers are now located in Comparison Papers at George Mason University Special Collections & Archives Box 17.)
A bibliography of articles written by Harold D. Lasswell and others assembled by Warfield.
Paper presented by Warfield that criticizes shallow, hasty technology, which produces ‘invasive systems’ loaded with potential disaster. Warfield advocates a technology based on ‘deep logic’ which utilizes the tools of “Generic Design Science,” a continuous reevaluation process. Presented at 1989 Simposio Internacao de Comunicao Significao e Conhecimento face as Technologias de Informacao, 13-15 Sept., Lisbon. Later published in a proceedings of the conference.
