Newspaper article written shortly after Warfield started his Interactive Management Center at University of Virginia.
Talk given at a Colloquium sponsored by Center for Study of Race & Ethnic Relations, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, 1 November 1989.
An Interactive Management Report from a workshop sponsored by a consortium of several automobile manufacturing companies, including Ford Motor Company. The purpose of the consortium was to develop generic auto manufacturing standards, to be used across the entire industry. There was a total of 81 problems, 42 of which were selected and used to generate a problematique. The report contains the problematique. Includes three photographs (photocopies of photos) showing the workshop in progress, with participants…
An abstract, title page and copies of 16 transparencies used during talk. . Presented at ITESM Campus, Chihuahua, Mexico, 7 April 1999 and in Monterrey Mexico on 8-9 April 1999.
Transparencies presented at Ford Motor Company, Avely, U.K. on 5 July 1999 and at UKSS conference, Lincoln, U.K. 9 July 1999. The same transparencies were used during a talk titled “The Science of Complexity” at Ford Motor Company in Aveley, two days before the UKSS conference. See, "The Science of Complexity and How it translates into Interactive Management Work.”
Author's presentation notes for Complexity lecture 12, the closing event of a 1998 Fall Semester "Complexity" series. Dr. John N. Warfield argues that it is time to revamp the education system in America. He proposes a new type of college he calls the “Horizons” college. Part of a series of 12 lectures on complexity given at the Johnson Center, George Mason University, this was third of a group of three lectures on the topic of…
An abstract, followed by an eleven-page precis of Warfield's thoughts on present and future university educational policies, in which he develops the ideas of earlier philosophers and educators and brings these ideas to bear on modern concepts of higher education. The report ends with a series of 25 Appendices. These appendices include previously written works by Warfield; some are complete papers and some are excerpted from his books or longer works.
Presented at IEEE-SMC International Conference on Cybernetics and Society, 8-9 October 1979, Denver, Colorado. Document or paper used for this talk is missing.
Memo containing biographical information Warfield considered sending to Xintong.
Abstracts of a series of five invited lectures along with photocopies of the transparencies used by Warfield during the talks. Presented at Asociacion Argentina de Teoria General de Sistemas & Cibernetica, Buenos Aires, 7-10 April 1992.
A topical bibliography on the subject of complexity, with some titles falling within more than one category. The topics are: Applications, Education, Graphical Representations, Interactive Human Processes, Mathematics of Modeling, Organizations and Human Behavior, and Philosophy.
A guide to Warfield’s computer files and office shelves. Explains his system of naming and categorizing his work on complexity into subject headings. The manuscript later became one of five short articles which were combined into a report titled “Overview: John N. Warfield's 30 Year Research Program on Complexity."
An introduction Warfield wrote for a “system profile,” or autobiographical piece, by Charles François.
Resources Warfield used for a class taught at George Mason University in fall of 1985. This material is also on a set of transparencies at Fenwick Library Special Collections, titled "An Example Of Applying Options Field Methodology - Planning To Go To The Movies."
Introduces the concept of design malpractice and explores how and why it occurs and what can be done to stop it from happening. Discusses the priorities that appear to govern large scale system design and calls for a major change to prevent the continuance of a series of major design disasters. Presented at American Society Mechanical Engineers International Congress on Planning & Design Theory, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, 17-20 August 1987.

Reprinted from a presentation at 1968 IFAC Symposium, Cleveland, Ohio along with correspondence with editor of Automatica, which published the piece.
A series of twenty questions about complexity Warfield introduces and answers. Covers topics including the language used, process requirements, etc. for solving complex problems.
A list of about nineteen names of long-ago or far away scholars whose thinking has influenced Warfield's work.
PowerPoint slides to accompany “Why Johnny Can’t Design Software,” which Warfield planned to be Number 10 in a series of 14 videotapes to be called “Managing the Unmanageable.” In it he reviews his ideas on current software writing patterns and suggests that his Structure-Based Science of Design be implemented as an antidote. Originally presented at IEEE Southern Maryland Joint Communications, Computers and Electromagnetic Compatibility Chapters, Lexington Park, MD, 24 April 2000.
