An email which was forwarded to Warfield. Scott Staley expresses his admiration for Warfield and his frustration with the way GMU has treated Warfield.
A photograph and biography of Warfield written in Polish.
A draft/outline of a paper that suggests that the practice of referring to subdivisions of human knowledge as “disciplines” should be replaced with the term “domains of science.” Includes a graphical portrayal of the relations between four fields of science (Conceptual Space, Theory, Methodology and Applications.) This graphic would later be published in “A Domain of Science Model for Generic Design, Showing the Interpretation of Links as Purposes Served.” See also, "Notes on Conceptual Science."
A photograph of a plaque with Warfield and Bob House’s names. Located in the Electrical Engineering building at Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania.
Book Review: Constraint Theory: Multidimensional Mathematical Model Management by George J. Friedman
Warfield’s review of George J. Friedman, Constraint Theory: Multidimensional Mathematical Model Management (New York: Springer, 2005). See notes field for Freidman’s response to review.
In this letter to Theodore Levitt, editor of the Harvard Business Review, Warfield describes his work and publications dealing with the theory and applications of a methodology described in an article the journal recently published titled "The House of Quality" written by Harvard professors Houser and Clausing. None of Warfield’s work had been cited or recognized.
An unfinished six page manuscript with the subdivisions Preliminaries, Hypothetical Priors to Current Design Practice, Representation-Oriented Priors, Management-Oriented Priors, Design Environment-Oriented Priors, Design-Process Oriented Priors, Evaluation-Oriented Priors, and Preparation-Oriented Priors.
A short bibliography/collection of short quotes from other authors including Geoffrey Vickers, A. N. Whitehead, J. Willard Gibbs and Charles S. Peirce. These quotation also appeared as Appendix 8 in Warfield’s 1986 GRAILS proposal.
Appeared in the Spring 1985 edition of the Center for Interactive Management newsletter Nexus. The logo shows two triangles linked together by CIM. A descriptive panel states that "The first triangle represents [Intelligence, Design and Choice] the three principal functions of managers, the second represents the three functions of a university, namely Teaching, Research and Public Service."
This is a description of the development of Interpretive Structural Modeling software along with a discussion of how it could be improved. Includes lengthy summaries of four published papers: : 1) Participative Methodology for Public Systems Planning 2) Unified Program Planning (Doug Hill, co-author helped with work to produce this paper) 3) Crossing Theory and Hierarchy Mapping 4) Effective Representations of Hierarchical Structures. Note that QFD is an acronym for Quality Function Development.
A brochure for the “Primer Interloquium, Primicias Del Siglo XXI,” held 21-23 March 1994. Provides overview of what was intended for the conference, names of principal organizers and officials behind the conference and short bios of visiting international speakers (including Warfield).
A list of reference materials Warfield used during Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) faculty training activities in 1991 and 1992. There is a much larger version titled "Self-Study Program Development Guides for Warfield Literature."
A memo containing a list of things Warfield wanted to discuss with Fukuyama if he was going to teach a course in Fukuyama’s MAIT program.

A short, unfinished, thought-piece on the challenges complexity poses to humanity. Includes list of 10-11 propositions.
A short description of Warfield’s work, contact information for persons familiar with it, and the citations of a few of Warfield’s published writings. It is part of a proposal to do a workshop for the NSF and is a response to a questionnaire from a NSF official.
An unfinished paper on the subject of complexity and the use of fields, or categories. The Field is divided into 12 topics, with numerous sub-topics listed under each. The 12 primary topics are: Human Beings, Language, Reasoning, Thought Leaders, Formalisms, Science for Complexity, Models and Modeling, Processes, Education, Organizations, Products and Analysts. Although the two are unrelated, the subject matter of this paper is similar to “Managing the Unmanageable: Structuring Discursivity for the Domain of…
A computer printout showing a one-page drawing of a structure which has four cycles. Eight or ten short paragraphs on the same page describe how to read the structure. Folded in with the drawing of the structure is a larger drawing of a gigantic flow chart titled: "Requires for Good Results." A caption label on this flow chart says "Generic Requirements Flow for Software Development and Maintenance That is Not Now Being Satisfied.” Likely part…
