Catalog (2256)
A set of transparencies for a presentation that discussed the Science of Complexity and Interactive Management. See also, “Vertical INCOHERENCE in Three-Level Organizations.” Presented at Ford Motor Company Ltd., Enterprise Process Reengineering Europe, Aveley, Essex, U.K. 7 July 1999.
Draft of A Science of Generic Design sent the George Mason University Press in 1989.
This draft copy of A Science of Generic Design is composed of the first four chapters of the book. Also includes a preface and a table of contents for all 10 of the proposed chapters as well as the proposed appendices and indexes, with each chapter followed by numerous sub-divisional titles.
The folder holds correspondence and other items, beginning with a 1985 outline for two book chapters which Warfield had sent as a memo to David Keever and Alexander Christakis, with whom he originally planned to write the book.
A guide to understanding Warfield’s computer files related to A Science of Generic Design.
Miscellaneous collection of letters and comments from people who read pre-publication manuscripts of A Science of Generic Design. See also, “A Science of Generic Design Review by Anita Taylor.”
A preliminary proposal describing a paper which Warfield hoped to present at the conference of the UKSS. The proposal was accepted. See, “Demands Imposed on Systems Science by Complexity”
This is the first single-spaced, one-volume version of the manuscript. It has minor content changes since the January 1989 version; it also has the figure pages included in the pagination, with consecutively numbered pages for the first time. This May version was followed by a revision which was completed in July 1989.
This is simply a two-page summary of a lengthy talk during which Warfield showed a few transparencies on an overhead projector, and also handed out some printed transparencies of additional materials. The talk outline covers not only Warfield's own 30 minute presentation, (titled A Philosophy of Design) but an entire morning session which he coordinated, consisting of videos and talks by Roxana Cardenas, Scott Staley, & Lynn Sullivan. For further information on the talk, see…
Text of a paper given at a conference. It is a discussion of seven milestones, or significant contributions, to archival knowledge relevant to the representation of products of human thought (as distinguished from the biological activity involved in thinking). For the transparencies used during the talk, see “Seven Milestones in the History of Thought, Cell Packet.” Presented at 19th Annual Conference of the Association for Integrative Studies, 23-26 October 1997, Broyhill Conference Center, Appalachian State…
First used at a lecture on Complexity Management before the AAAS Fellows in 1997. This was a "pop Quiz" given the group at the beginning of the talk. It is a takeoff on the television quiz show "Jeopardy." It provides the reader significant details about eight important scientific figures, then asking "Who was he?”
Criteria for writing a scientific proposal and application of these criteria to Antonio Morales' "Project Distrievan" proposal, demonstrating how it could be improved.
Unfinished paper that critiques the discipline of Economics. Includes inked corrections.
After identifying nine specific functions which are entailed good group design work, Warfield presents a set of 31 key criteria, chosen to enhance these functions. The key criteria are displayed in a chart with the criteria divided into nine categories, which can assist in making good selections from the large number of methodologies that are being recommended for participative activity. Written for the Bombay-New Delhi IEEE conference, held in India 30 December 1983 – 7…

This guide was written as a final report for a teaching/research contract sponsored by Defense Systems Management College. The report follows on Warfield’s time teaching classes to DSMC faculty and staff and assisting in planning and conducting Interactive Management workshops. It is prepared to help the reader develop a self-study program regarding complexity, system design, Interactive Management, or some combination of these three.
Written to be part of a Festschrift volume to be published in honor of Charles Francois. Identifies and discusses seven challenges for system scholars and practitioners. Provides suggestions for overcoming them. Warfield later wrote a revised version titled “A Challenge for Systems Engineers: To Evolve Toward Systems Science, part 1 and part 2. .
Transparencies to accompany “Seven Milestones in the History of Thought, Paper.” It is a discussion of seven milestones, or significant contributions, to archival knowledge relevant to the representation of products of human thought, as distinguished from the biological activity involved in thinking. See notes field for a list of the transparencies used. Presented at 19th Annual Conference of the Association for Integrative Studies, 23-26 October 1997, Broyhill Conference Center, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina.…
Transparencies to accompany “Complexity Lecture No. 5.” Dr. John N. Warfield discusses the history and evolution of human thought, focusing on seven “milestones” or significant developments. Part of a series of 12 lectures on complexity given at the Johnson Center, George Mason University. Second of three lectures on topic of Philosophy.
