This report was a handout to accompany a talk titled "The Science of Generic Design: Foundations and Applications", plenary presentation at the First Annual Meeting of the International Society for Design and Process Science, University of Texas, IC2 Center, Austin, Texas, 9 December 1995. See also, "Understanding Design Science, 1996" which has copies of the transparencies used during talk.
Presents summary report of the findings of multiple task reports on educational needs for the Ohio Department of Education. Focusing on immediate needs, available resources and possible solutions, the summary covers seven topics; vocational and technical education, educational finance, use and training of auxiliary personnel, data processing centers, educational technology, school library manpower, and pupil transportation. The State, the report concludes, should create regional centers to provide educational services to local school districts.
Argues that large systems that depend on both technology and people as key components (the sociotechnical systems) are unsatisfactory. Presents a new platform for sociotechnical system design which is intended to reorient the system designer and system design practice. This new platform, from which sociotechnical system design activity can be confidently launched, can be described as five-dimensional. The dimensions are: Human behavior, science, communication, modeling, and complexity. For some additional information please use http://www.gmu.edu/depts/t-iasis/wandwaver/app03.htm.
This was a questionnaire sent to the panel of speakers taking part in the Primer Interloquium held in Guanajuato March 1994
Published as a way of recognizing Warfield’s work. A compilation of 21 articles written by his colleagues at Battelle and elsewhere. Each article discusses some facet of the research which was spearheaded by Warfield, dealing with the methodology for solving complex issues in a systematic manner.
A discussion of learning principles and how they might be connected to classroom uses of graphics which are displayed and amended as learning progresses, through use of a computer. This is followed by an appendix in which the author's "Options Profile" methodology is described, concluding with an example of an Options Profile for environmental education at the secondary level. Presented at Annual Meeting American Educational Research Association, 8-12 April 1979, San Francisco, California.
A few brief paragraphs suggesting the universities stop avoiding deep background learning. See also, related paper “Indictment of the Institution Called a University.”
A conference paper that describes the navigational system for airplane landings under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), invented by John Warfield, for which he holds a patent. The system was built and marketed by Wilcox Electric Company of Kansas City, Missouri in 1965, initially for use at small airports where a 10 watt VHF Omnirange System is sufficient. The voractor-based electronic unit, without moving parts, was intended to replace the older mechanical units which were hard…
Warfield wrote this preface in 1988 and sent it to Li Da Xu, who was coordinating the translation efforts. The Chinese edition of Societal Systems was published in 1993 under the title “She Hui Xi Tong-Ji Hua Gong Zuo.”
An introduction to the John N. Warfield Collection at the Special Collections and Archives, George Mason University. Became the preface to "A Guide to the John N. Warfield Collection 2nd ed.”
A transcript of a video-taped interview of John Warfield by Roxana Cardenas, Chairman of the Systems Engineering Department at Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico. In this interview Warfield responds to questions from the Tech Institute faculty and staff regarding his recently published book A Science of Generic Design, 2 ed.. For a copy of the video, see “Preguntas, an Interview of John N. Warfield by Roxana Cardenas.”
Copies of questions and Warfield’s responses to student questions he had been unable to answer during his time lecturing at ITESM in Monterrey, Mexico 1-6 March 2004.
An outline of a computer program used to augment the interpretive structural modeling process. Sections include an Overview, Protocol and Interactive Dialogue, Systems Structure, Process Structure, Data Structure and Hardware Considerations.
A four page check list used as a hand-out at a training session for faculty and staff at Defense Systems Management College, Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Many of the items on the list are followed by a reference to specific sections, or chapters of The Interactive Management Handbook (1991 ed.). See also, “Checklist for a Workshop Plan.”
A working paper/memo for a course. Lists a number of transparencies or teaching materials, separated by categories which are to be presented in order.

A discussion of some of the unconsciously held beliefs or "presuppositions" which contribute to human decision-making, usually without the awareness of the decision-makers. Building on the work of Peirce, Gibbs, Lemoigne and Argyris, the author proposes a methodology of generic design science be used to dislodge those "uncommendable" presuppositions on the part of designers & planners which have contributed in the past to disastrous planning and disastrous decisions. Submitted to Tenth European Meeting on Cybernetics…
Presentation a full conceptualization the Interactive Management method. Descries in capsule form its important features, such as user participation, analysis of degrees of complexity, recognition of human roles, the triad of Content/Context/Process, the Sigma-5 concept, an improved situation-room design, and the use of seven specific Consensus Methodologies.
Warfield's evaluation of the ISM software package written under supervision of Cliff Saunders. Overall, Warfield found PRISM functioned reasonably well but several areas existed where he deemed the PRISM software as inadequate. Submitted to Defense Systems Management College, May 1991.
A review of the intellectual history presaging the development of the Interactive Management (IM) adaptation and use of structural graphics to display results of IM Workshops. See also, “The Problematique: Evolution of an Idea, (1998)” by John N. Warfield and George H. Perino, Jr.
