Reprinted in CIM Reports-Volume 1: Interactive Management: Schools, Education, issued by IASIS (1990), this is a report on a workshop held at the University of the Aegean, Island of Chios, Greece, 24-27 August, 1988, organized by the University of the Aegean in cooperation with George Mason University. The report contains the `Chios Declaration' adopted by the conference. This Declaration, a document which addresses the human need to master complexity, was signed by 24 persons associated with the workshop. Nineteen people, from six nations were active workshop participants. The author/editor team for this report consisted of Colleen Kearney, Rea Manidaki, Ionna Tsivacou and John N. Warfield. (Colleen was John's secretary and editorial assistant. She did not attend the conference. However when they brought the workshop paperwork back to the U.S., Colleen retyped and organized the paperwork. Rea and Ionna were both on the staff of the University of the Aegean, and had actually been in attendance at the Chios conference, and had both signed the Declaration. These two Greek ladies probably reviewed and/or composed some of the materials which went into the report. Warfield wrote drafts of all the significant parts of this final report, which Colleen retyped and assembled into a nicely printed booklet. Most of the final report background information was generated in the workshop process on the computer. The workshop itself had been facilitated by Alexander Christakis and David Keever, and the computer operations & video were done by CIM staff who went to Greece. In 1990 Rose rescued all the old CIM reports including this Chios conference report and got them hardbound into an eleven-volume set (two copies) with the series title of CIM REPORTS. The entire set of CIM REPORTS was then donated, one copy to the Library of Congress and the other to George Mason University's Fenwick Library.
