Published in Polish, this paper deals with the use of a Generic Design Science to organize knowledge prior to its use in construction of working models. The Domain of Science diagram is used as a key to organization of knowledge. Topics in this paper include "referential transparency" "deep and shallow logic" "developing a science of design" and "detractors to effective system design", which was a table showing effects of variety, parsimony, saliency and a Demosophia…
This document organizes publications relevant to work by John N. Warfield that relate to complexity into five Parts. In the first Part, papers and monographs by Warfield are cited in categories. Some of the entries fall into more than one category. The categories adopted for this presentation are (in alphabetical order): Applications, Education, Graphical Representations, Interactive Human Processes, Mathematics of Modeling, Organizations and Human Behavior (these two topics being grouped in order to discuss the…

This is just a break from the drudgery, a little proposal to the university higher-ups, written in the style that only an engineer would use, of our efforts to get decent parking place to preserve Warfield's painful foot problem

This is a presentation packet of teaching transparencies used to accompany a talk given for NASA engineers, Ramada Inn, Hagerstown, Maryland, 30 July 1996. There is no manuscript for the actual talk given by Warfield. As a handout for the audience Warfield passed out copies of the booklet "Seven Ways to Portray Complexity" which shows examples of various structural models
Noting the deficiencies of the English language, this is study of how to determine the forms of language to use with structural modeling, how to categorize and choose the elements of language best suited for varying situations. Janet Fertig, a graduate student at University of Virginia, presented this paper at the Pittsburg conference.
Outline of a seminar presented at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa, 18 April 1980.
