Surveys research, study and applications needed to bring the new tool of Interpretive Structural Modeling into its full potential. Suggestions include more and better computer programs, training of session leaders, development of the theory of cycles, development of computerized graphical displays and increased help for the use of the process by the non-mathematical user. Presented at Seventh Annual Pittsburgh Conference on Modeling & Simulation, University of Pittsburgh, 26- 28 April 1976.
