Wohl Award, Taipei, Taiwan October 2006"






Warfield was awarded the Joseph G. Wohl Award at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society in Taipei, Taiwan. The IEEE Award IS $2000.00 and a plaque. The Award is described on the web site of the IEEE SMC Society. It is the highest award offered by this Society. Rather than travel to Taiwan to give his acceptance speech, Warfield asked if he might send a video recording instead, due to his advanced age. This was satisfactory. Warfield got his nephew Mike Boston to do the filming and produced a ten minute DVD a talk with 8 PowerPoint slides. The DVD disk was sent to the SMC awards chairman, who took it with him to Taiwan. A copy of the disk was sent to Warfield Special Collection in 2007. The manuscript used by Warfield for filming the presentation is in the folder with the DVD.
