Sent to GMU 31 January 2001.Presented at 9 May 2001 meeting of IEEE Long Island Section Computer Society, near Comack, New York. A slide show with this title, with 28 slides, was presented to IEEE Long Island Section Computer Society, meeting jointly with Long Island Software Process Improvement Network, on 9 May 2001. The IEEE society printed a handout of all 28 slides for distribution to the attendees. This handout has a cover page with the slightly changed title: "Metrics for Measuring Complexity" and also in the handout were reproductions of all of Warfield's slides for another talk (MTU10Why Johnny Can't Design Software), which I guess he took along with him to the Long Island meeting and handed out to the audience, or possibly included as part of his talk. (SEE ALSO the booklet titled "Metrics for Measuring Complexity.") Warfield performed this lecture after his selection for IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Program, a post which he filled for about a year. Distinguished Lecturers were put on a roster to be available as speakers to IEEE chapters. Lecturers did not charge a fee, only their travel expenses were supposed to be paid by the hosting chapter. ====================================== There was an earlier version of this talk, it was the 16 June2000 version, with only 21 slides. It was shipped to GMU & Arizona on a CD-ROM in the year 2000. =============================================== This title is also a videotaped LECTURE, using PowerPoint slides which Warfield prepared himself. The filming was done at George Washington University Television studio in Washington, D.C. on 16 June 2000, using Warfield's first version, which had only 21 slides. A year later, In March 2001 while preparing for the IEEE TALK to be given in May 2001, he updated this slide presentation, adding seven more slides, so that it now has 28 slides. ( Warfield says all of his MTU slides are a "work in progress and he will probably edit and update all of them eventually.) We sent the document containing the slides to Warfield Special Collection at GMU, where it is now Box 21, Folder 11. , but the videotape of the lecture was not sent to GMU because Warfield wanted to do more work on the series before calling it finished. This lecture titled "The Metrics of Complexity" was planned by Warfield to be Number 5 of an overall series of 14 videotapes to be called "Managing the Unmanageable." [WARFIELD HAD PREPARED AN ALTERNATE LECTURE FOR THE NUMBER 5 SPOT, TO BE TITLED "DISCOVERY IN ORGANIZATIONS," BUT HE CHANGED TO "METRICS OF COMPLEXITY" BEFORE MAKING VIDEO LECTURE #5] Eight of the LECTURES in the series were videotaped at George Washington University Television Studio (GWU-TV), in Washington, D.C. in June 2000. Warfield had planned five more lectures for this series, but he did not have time to do the videotapes for those remaining five before leaving town. Of the series of 14 planned video lectures, Warfield was able to make tapes for No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 7, No. 9, No. 13, and No. 14 at GWU-TV. Number 1 of his series had been taped several months before, on Feb 23, at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA.
