Argues that the development of an effective connection between system science and science has been limited because of language and that a “transdisciplinary language” is necessary. Written as background for a panel presentation titled “Science and Systems Science” at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting of the Society for General Systems Research, San Francisco, California, 8 January 1980.
This is the original version of a paper that would be later published (“Learning Through Model Building”). This version differs in that it Warfield discusses Harary’s work in graph theory in greater detail and on Warfield’s view of how Interpretive Structural Modeling should become useful in group learning. Presented at a Symposium on Computer-Assisted Analysis & Model Simplification, sponsored by U.S. Dept. Energy, on 24 March 1980, at University of Colorado, Boulder.
This is the original manuscript marked with handwritten notes and slides for “On the Design of Language for System Design” prepared for a talk before the European Conference on Cybernetics and Systems-EMCSR, at the University of Vienna, Austria, 4-8 April 1988. The manuscript portion of the talk was published but the transparencies were not.
A thought piece Warfield composed while working on his book manuscript “A Work Program of Complexity,” which was later published under the title Understanding Complexity. Includes a list of the titles Warfield considered most relevant to complexity.
An annotated list of 15 articles, papers reports and seminar presentations on the Great University of which Warfield was either author or participant.
This seminar combined both lectures and Interactive Management sessions. Participants were senior managers from the National Marine Fisheries Service, assembled in a group setting to examine "underlying philosophies and directions of the current NMFS and plans for the NMFS of the 1990's" in methodologies guided by staff members of Center for Interactive Management. It was a training experience for the NMFS personnel, as well as a beginning attempt to work toward policy changes in preparation…
Original manuscript with a five page introductory section and a discussion of seven different methodologies used in group design. They are: Brainwriting (Ideawriting), Nominal Group Technique (NGT), Delphi, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), Options Field Method, Options Profile Method, and Trade-off Analysis Method (TAM).
A two page outline of a talk Warfield gave at a work group meeting at an International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) meeting in Tampa, Florida on 2 February 2003. See “The Work Program of Complexity: Presentation.”
This folder contains four sections: 1) the course syllabus for PUAD 729 2) Study Questions on Peter Senge's book A Fifth Discipline 3. “Twelve Laws of Generic Design” 4) copy of the article "Complexity and Cognitive Equilibrium: Experimental Results and Their Implications" by Warfield.
This was the first a series of 14 class sessions Warfield taught at GMU in Spring Semester 1999. It is a topical overview of the course. The videotapes which match this transcript are in Box 68 of Warfield Special Collections, listed in the GMU Finding Aid as Discovery and Complexity, January 30, 1999. Tape 1 of 2 and Discovery and Complexity, January 30, 1999. Tape 2 of 2.
This was the second in a series of 14 class sessions taught by Warfield in Spring Semester 1999. The videotapes which match this transcript are in Box 68 of Warfield Special Collections, listed in the Finding Aid as “Discovery and Complexity, February 6, 1999. Tape 1 of 2.” and “Discovery and Complexity, February 6, 1999. Tape 2 of 2.”
A discussion of available methods for determining whether or not a given situation is complex, and if so, how complex, from a mathematical standpoint. Also explores how the complexity is treated if using Warfield’s methods of Nominal Group Technique and Interpretive Structural Modeling. See also, “Metrics for Measuring Complexity.”
Unfinished manuscript. Warfield argues that, in the face of escalating levels of complexity, the educational system must change and give more attention to structure.
Warfield’s master bibliography that he used in his writings and updated regularly. This document gives author, title and publisher of books and articles mentioned in Warfield’s writing. Includes titles and citations for Warfield’s own publications.
Proposal outline for a seminar presentation to the University of North Alabama. One of three proposals. See also, “Proposal 1: An Introduction to Systems Science” and “Proposal 3: Higher Education.” Warfield did not end up giving any of them.

Proposal outline for a seminar presentation to the University of North Alabama. One of three proposals. See also, “Proposal 2: The US Automobile Industry: 1945 to 2005” and “Proposal 3: Higher Education.” Warfield did not end up giving any of them.
Warfield explains Interactive Management and how to run a proper Workshop. See also, "Products from Florentine Conference."
A one page overview of the four now separated cataloged sources which should be combined for a reasonable exposition of Warfield’s idea of Complexicon. For further detail on Complexicon, see "Complexicon Explained by Rose, 2012." See notes field for list of titles to be combined for possible publication.
