A list of 14 individuals who have used Interpretive Structural Modeling and the consensus methodologies. Includes brief description of how and where they used them.
A collection of 18 problematiques from various Interpretive Structural Modeling workshops. Each one includes full explanation and interpretation of the figure. Report has two complete papers as appendices: “Complexity Measurement of Systems Design,” by Scott M. Staley and “Spreadthink” by Warfield.
No information on this article, but possibly related to an earlier published article in Switching Networks as Models of Discrete Stochastic Processes. In Julius T. Tou, Ed, APPLIED AUTOMATA THEORY.
Calls on educators to take seriously the need to sensitize people to complexity as a behavioral concept which higher education need to take steps to correct—particularly in those areas where the consequences of technomyopia threaten to bring down the educational system itself.
Distributive Lattice is the title Warfield used in his inventory index. It is a table that shows the cardinality of all the levels found in a distributive lattice that corresponds to an n-dimensional system for n lying in the range (0, 10).
Critique of John W. Burton, Resolving Deep-Rooted Conflict: A Handbook (Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1987).
Includes much of the day-by-day procession of the Primer Interloquium held in Guanajuato, Mexico 21-23 March 1994. Has documents from planning stages through to final days. Also included are documents related to an Interactive Management session held before an audience of several hundred in the State Auditorium of Guanajuato, facilitated by Alexander Christakis.
One of Warfield’s most important papers, it presents the Domain of Science Model as a way of clarifying the distinctions between science and technology and the relation of science to methodology. Argues that newer sciences need a disciplining mechanism, and that the DOS Model can furnish such a mechanism. This Model is based on the philosophy of science as expressed by C. S. Peirce. Warfield has used it consistently as a disciplining agent in developing…
Review of the history of reasoning and its relation to language and philosophy followed by an introduction of the concept of “Universal Priors.” Warfield then provides a tentative list of his universal priors and argues that science would not exist without them.
Patent for “Double Bridge Network for Producing Signals Having A Modulation Envelope Phase Difference.” Originally named “Electronic Goniometer.” Summary and schematic included. Warfield signed over patent rights to his employer Wilcox Electric Co., of Kansas City, MO. See also the paper by Warfield & Gooch "A precision electronic goniometer."
Unfinished paper that argues that American universities are going to be left behind by foreign competition. Contends that learning more about Warfield’s research would prevent this from happening.
A draft publicity piece that has a review of George Mason University activities and personnel. Warfield is listed as a faculty member on page 13.
Problem Statements and Warfield’s handwritten notes from Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) Workshop Understanding Defense Systems Acquisition Management. See also Understanding Defense Systems Acquisition Management (DSAM), Unedited.
Polish translation of Warfield’s article “Dual Basis Design.” Introduces the concept of “due process” in design that provides a basis for identifying and monitoring responsible management practices. This would result in a lower rate of catastrophic design failures and eliminate much of the waste which often occurs with large system design. Proposes establishment of basic design science, with standards and practices for large-scale system designs, with the view that over time such standards and practices…

A discussion of some systems science techniques which can be of use in the field of economics - the Theory of Dimensionality, the automated version of the logic of structure from De Morgan's Theory of Relations, the specially equipped situation room, the philosophy of frame-breaking and remodeling. Presented at World Congress on Cybernetics & Systems, Hunter College of City University of New York, New York City, 15 June 1990.
Originally written for the Editorial Board of Systems Research journal. Contains suggestions for the future development of the journal and urges a gradual change of editorial pattern toward a representation of a Domain of Science model in printed form. Suggests classifying the manuscripts received into the differing branches of science, followed by subdivisions of the editorial function, using a number of editors, each responsible for manuscripts in one well defined scientific field. A future possibility…
A description of the system used by the Journal Systems Research in reviewing and accepting refereed journal articles for publication, during the years that John Warfield was Editor-in-Chief. Warfield resigned as editor in 1990. Systems Research has subsequently been continued under a different publisher and editor.
A shorter version of the paper "A Course in Generic Design' in which Warfield proposes a college-level class on Generic Design. Includes Warfield’s Sigma-5 figure. Presented at International Conference on Mental Images, Values and Reality, 30th Annual Meeting of SGSR, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 26-30 May 1986. See also, “The Domain of Science Model: Evolution and Design” which Warfield presented at the same conference.
