This report contains photocopies of 27 transparencies designed to aid in a discussion of the problems involved in getting the generic design science into our higher education, and some of the options and/or actions required. Number 2 in a series of four reports originating in 1990-1991 when Warfield created transparencies for use with faculty classes at Defense Systems Management College. Titles of the other three booklets in the series are 1) “Generic Design Science and…
Contains photocopies of 24 transparencies used as class material for courses taught by Warfield at Defense Systems Management College and also before other audiences. In 1991, at the time he was using these transparencies, he had assembled a set of twelve "Laws" to be used by persons applying Interactive Management to design problems. It is Number 4 in a series of four reports originating in 1990-1991 when Warfield created transparencies for use with faculty classes…
Contains photocopies of 30 transparencies designed to give an overview of Generic Design Science and Interactive Management. One in a series of four small reports originating in 1990-1991 used as class material for courses taught by Warfield at Defense Systems Management College and also before other audiences. Titles of the other three booklets in the series are 2) “Generic Design Science: Diagnostics” 3) “Interactive Management Workshops: Planning for Success” 4) “Generic Design Science: Laws of…
This talk was given during Warfield's two week period in Mexico when he was giving short course on Generic Design at ITESM. Presented to the Monterrey Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Monterrey, Mexico, 29 June 1993.
Provides a thorough review of the basic precepts of his "generic design science." Discusses the "Twelve Laws of Design Science" and gives short descriptions of how his generic design concepts are now being utilized in real life applications. Full citation: John Warfield, "Generic Planning: Research Results and Applications", in W. F. Schut and C. W. W. van Lohuizen, eds. Managing Knowledge for Design, Planning, and Decision Making (Delft: Delft University Press, 1990), 109-128 and in…
This is the title page and front matter of a comprehensive research bibliography dated 1972 through 1990, which was distributed for several years from Warfield’s office at 219 Thompson Hall, George Mason University. Click here for PART 2. In print both parts are combined as a single volume.
This is a scrapbook of materials is a rough draft, with computer printouts and handwritten notes, which preceded the formal report titled "Project & Funding Proposal for Development of Technology Transfer Centre.”
Excerpts, summaries and notes Warfield took while reading Muriel Rukeyser, Willard Gibbs (Woodbridge, CT: Ox Bridge Press, 1988).
A certificate that represents 25 years of service In the Commonwealth of Virginia, not at George Mason exclusively. Warfield taught at GMU for 16 years (1984-2000) and worked at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville for nine years as chairman of Electrical Engineering Department and director of Center for Interactive Management (1975-1984).
The Rodman program was a special set of classes and seminars provided exclusively for top-level freshman and sophomore engineering students at the University of Virginia. One of his earliest formal teaching efforts with his design theory. In 1984 And 1985 his paper "A course in generic design for engineers" was a close description of the ideas he put to use in the Rodman course.
This is Part 2 of a 2-part proposal. This part of the proposal asserts the possibility of a software capable of designing a super-language which is interchangeably usable and comprehensible among various intellectual and technical levels, to be called by the acronym GRAILS (Graphically Integrated Language System). The proposal includes photocopies of 6 published articles, five of which are by Warfield, and is based on the concept of a "Domain of Science Model" which uses…
Highly mathematical. Contains 23 numbered items all dealing with various mathematical terms, assumptions, formula or definitions.
A draft of a book. Serves as a good beginning introduction for someone wishing to understand the mathematics of structures and is easier to understand than the more elaborate papers which came later. Parts used for classes and/or other publications. Box at GMU contains letters relating to its publication.
Materials related to unfinished manuscript includes a part called Graphics Representations Glossary, then two appendices, one called Mathematics Glossary and another called Words Glossary. Warfield referred to it as “parts of a project which was never finished.”
This is one typed page, plus a nicely typed title page, apparently a beginning for a "graphics dictionary" project. Likely done around the time he was working on “Graphics Language” or “Graphics Representation Glossary.”

These are materials written by John Warfield in preparation for each of the six "Great University" Seminars held at George Mason University during the academic year 1989-1990. There are printouts containing abstracts and discussion outlines used as handouts for seminar attendees, in Warfield Collection C0016 Box 24, Folder 43 at Fenwick Library.
Declares that the primary goal of higher education should be to prepare citizens for democracy. Calls for an infrastructure which could support interactions between a re-defined three-part educational system consisting of a University College, a Professional College and a Horizons College. Presented 26 October 1995 at Mason Hall, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.
The first page is a list of topical headings, numbered, then re-numbered, there are about 12 or 13 topics. Later pages refer to work of Lindblom, C.S. Peirce, Bales, Kemeny and others. Includes two-three pages which appear to be the beginning of a paper titled "Productivity of Groups.”
Uses examples from both government and industry to identify and compare 4 aspects of organizational decision-making in an effort to diminish the bad practices that go on in organizations. Three of these four aspects (groupthink, clanthink, and spreadthink) are cautionary and ask high-level managers to understand and become more selective in dealing with what is involved in group judgments in organizations. The presentation of the other aspect (linkthink) is prescriptive. Although it is founded on…
