Unfinished paper that discusses group decision making and how to analyze and use the processes involved. Includes option field figures.
A summary of the concept of “Spreadthink.”
Presented at IEEE Mid-America Electronics Conference, Kansas City, Missouri, 18-19 November 1965. It is shown that usable design information for high-frequency transistor mixers can be based on Bessel function relations" derived from the static transfer characteristic for several transistor types suitable for HF mixer design. Experimental results are given for measurable mixer products and compared with the values predicted analytically. (summary quote from the article).
Unfinished paper that sought to provide a lay audience with a way to approach complex issues in society. Includes outline of themes he planned to discuss.
Document missing. It provides results of a telephone survey, whereby the author contacted all locations where there was reason to suspect that ISM software might be installed. A primary aim was to determine what kind of computer the software was installed in, since new installations might benefit by using software that had already been converted to a particular machine type. A secondary aim was to determine whether the software was the Battelle version or the…
Although written specifically for Saudi Arabia, the manuscript is designed to apply in any group problem solving situation. It contains the entire process of Interactive Management, in a simple basic outline. Prepared for use as a part of the Final Report to the Saudis being produced by JWK International of Annandale, Virginia.
A description of Interactive Management in Mexico in 1994, in a conference organized by the ITESM Center for Strategic Studies (CSS), Campus Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.
A final report to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) that reviews and summarizes results and recommendations from two January 1997 workshops held in Accra for CSIR. Based on the workshop findings Warfield makes a series of recommendations to the Council about possible future uses of Interactive Management in Ghana.
Printed in Japanese, in Proceedings volume of a Conference in Kyoto, Japan in 1988. Contains five of Warfield's Figures copied from earlier papers titled "Structural Analysis of a Computer Language" and "A Complexity Metric for High Level Software Language.”
Suggestions for improving the quality of computer language design, by use of complexity-reducing techniques, augmented by graphic representations of the languages. See notes field for more detailed abstract. Presented at 17th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, 24-27 March 1985, Auburn, Alabama.

A three-day course presented for the graduate students in The Institute of Public Policy, George Mason University, 9-11 January 1995. The manual Complexity and Drummers was used as reading material for this course.
A proposal for a one-week course presented at the Bell Northern Research Laboratories, Ottawa, Canada, 22-26 November 1993 to be taught in collaboration with Roxana Cardenas.
The Course Announcement for a one-week course presented for The Institute of Public Policy and the Computer Aided Logistics Shared Resource Center Network, George Mason University, 6-10 June 1994 taught by Warfield and Roxana Cardenas.
This paper describes the Interactive Management process as a powerful approach to in-depth learning about a complex situation, which then provides a well-supported foundation for an organized attack to bring a complex situation under control. Scott Staley's contribution of data and experiences in the Ford Motor Company Workshops are used as empirical examples of the use of the Interactive Management methodologies. The published paper had misprints, so Warfield redid the paper. See, “Structural Thinking: Organizing…

Introduction of the 17 “Laws of Complexity.” Warfield asserts that their use, in connection with "computer-assisted relational thinking to construct relationships among factors involved in complex issues" will furnish the necessary information to enable quality control to be applied to description, diagnosis, prescription and implementation of complex issues. Includes Appendix with descriptions and details on each of the Laws of Complexity. Fundamentals of this paper were presented in a talk at the Annual Meeting of…
Early title of a book that would become Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior.
This was the first publication dealing with ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling). It gives the mathematical basis for writing software which will put interpretive structural models into graphic form. The bordering theorem is also included in an incomplete form in Appendix 1, with notations (supplied by Warfield, at a later date) on his other writings which contain the complete bordering theorem in its final form.
