Sent to GMU 27 September 2007. The above link opens to a Readme file, please go to the containing folder (Ernzen1999ShortCourse) for full view of these papers from Warfield's "Short Course on Complexity Science and Interactive Management" such as syllabus, student roster, correspondence and some of the handouts. Students attending this course received take home copies of following documents and manuals. Copies of these are in Warfield Special Collection at GMU library:

Prose-Graphic Outline of a Science of Complexity; What Questions Have Been Formulated and Answered in a 30-Year Research Program to Study COMPLEXITY?: The Work Program of Complexity: Resolving Complexity Cooperatively (Box 21 Folder 23); Programmed Instruction Units Transparencies for Mathematics of Structure 38 p tape-bound manual; The Mathematics of Structure (Box 21 Folder 29).

The full title of the class was "Workshop on Interactive Management, Systems Thinking and Complexity" but usually it was called the Ernzen Short Course, because Phil Ernzen of Ford Motor Company had asked Warfield to offer such a course so he could learn more about how to use Interactive Management. Warfield scheduled the class as a February 1999 offering for visiting scholars and also a partial credit course for students in PSOL (Program for Social & Organizational Learning) at George Mason University. The classes were held at Room 311 the big meeting room on third floor of Johnson Center building at George Mason University. The date of the short course was 15-18 February 1999. Phil Ernzn and a friend Jim Bernthal came from Michigan, another attendee was Ivan King and others from D.C. area. Professor Benjamin Broome assisted, helping Warfield with demonstrations of the ISM software. A complete course materials package is not in one location, but in separate folders and boxes at the GMU library with some also in Warfield Digital Collection at GMU Library. R.w. 5/1/2015.
