One of the first articles Warfield published. Provides an overview of the systems engineering, a new field at the time. Warfield considered this report an important step in his understanding of complexity and Systems Science. Written for Contract NORD7958, Bureau of Ordinance, U.S. Navy Department.
A one-page abstract and outline, along with the transparencies used, for a talk at the Howard University joint NASA-Electrical Engineering Seminar, 28 February 1989. Folder also contains correspondence regarding the talk.
This talk is listed in Warfield's vita. Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Integrative Studies (A.I.S.), 6-8 November 1987, Penn State University, State College, PA.
Autobiographical piece that discusses Warfield’s own work as well the influences of Systems personalities he considered to be the most influential and admirable. See also, a companion piece entitled “Systems Profile: 1925 to Now."
Warfield Introduces the term "Collective Inquiry" to describe his view of how the process of environmental education should work, by use of shared knowledge combined with a computer-assisted group learning process called Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM).
This article contains one of the earliest mentions of Warfield's Options Field in a formal publication. Options Field/Options Profile methodology was used as part of the design work done for an environmental education project. .
Describes techniques which can be used to do effective planning, beginning with a statement of a problem and continuing to an organized description of what is to be done to solve it. The techniques are: Creating a Morphological Box, setting a Planning Horizon, using Activities and Objectives Trees, and finally constructing a Delta Chart to enable an understanding of the Activity Network. Warfield invented the Delta Chart while working at Battelle and this is likely…
An autobiographical piece. Discusses different life experiences and how they led him to develop theories and practices of a new (although still unrecognized by the general public) system of concise application of computer technology to human behavioral and psychological realities for the purpose of group problem solving in complex social and technical situations. See also, a companion piece entitled “Systems Movement: Autobiographical Retrospectives: Discovering Systems Science.”
Contains names of all the authors, all the referees, the Systems Research Board Members, the titles of all the articles published, and an index to all of the volumes during the years when John Warfield was editor and the journal was published by Pergamon Press.
Warfield’s Master’s Thesis for his degree under Dr. Donald L. Waidelich, at University of Missouri. Later it was published as a 16-page Engineering school report.
Discusses Warfield’s work at Battelle on the Gold Book project.
A critique of the 1987 "Military Software Task Report," which was authored by the Defense Science Board (of the office of U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition) in 1987. Warfield is critical of implicit assumptions in the Task Report which have been accepted by U.S. Department of Defense, in an expenditure policy which was threatening our national security and helping to make us a second-rate economic power. Includes a number of suggestions for improving the…
This is the exact copy of ORIGINAL PRESENTATION, BEFORE LATER REVISIONS. Presented by Warfield at a joint session of the Northern Virginia IEEE Computer Society & IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology, 22 June 1988, in Arlington, Virginia. He later revised and updated this manuscript . See, “Technomyopia Threatens Our National Security.”
We sent to library as an Accopress binder containing correspondence, approximately 1 inch thick.
This manuscript is actually the printout of a slide presentation given by Mary Simpson while attending the INCOSE conference in July 2010.

The document advances ideas for continued training workshops for Ford Motor Company engineers.
This manuscript, two pages containing four axioms, was used as reference material for a class Warfield taught during the 1985 Fall Semester.
Notebook possibly to be used in developing later writings?
Comments and suggestions on how to deal with the problem that “overall growth and utility of knowledge is reaching a point of diminishing returns because of the disorganized state of knowledge.” Discusses key concepts that are either overlooked or used in an underconceptualized way but are critical to the development and application of Systems Science.
