Annotated Bibliography: Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, Revised 1990 Edition (Part 2)
All of the books and papers listed in this bibliography were published between the years 1959-1981. They are all related in some way to the development of Warfield's Interactive Management methodology. This edition is a combination of three previous bibliographies: “Interpretive Structural Modelling and Related Work, 1980;” “Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, Supplement #1, 1981;” and “Digest of Annotated Bibliography: Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work, 1982.” Written by Warfield while he was a professor at the University of Virginia, the three bibliographies were the first to give sources of information about the theory and applications and possible future uses of ISM. Significant early books on symbolic logic and Boolean algebra are listed, followed by a chronological listing of the development of the ISM theory in Warfield's work and in many papers and books about his work, written by others.

Complexicon in 2007 Rose Tries to Explain
Rose Warfield explains the meaning and history of Warfield’s term “complexicon.” Briefly, Warfield used the word complexicon to represent his study and definition of complexity in relation to systems science. In a sense, the table itself was a composite PowerPoint discussion of Warfield's "complexicon" represented in 13 different categories of study and linked together by Warfield into a single conceptual arena.

Rossini to Warfield
This was a disclaimer of ownership of the DOS version of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) software from George Mason University. It was a response to a request for clarification from Warfield. For information on the Windows version, see “ISM for WINDOWS Intellectual Property Disclosure” and “Jennifer Murphy to Benjamin Broome.”
Jennifer Murphy to Benjamin Broome
This was a disclaimer of ownership of the Windows version of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) software from George Mason University. Title was transferred to Benjamin Broome. It was a response to a request for clarification from Warfield. See, “ISM for WINDOWS Intellectual Property Disclosure.” For info on the DOS version, see “Rossini to Warfield.”
ISM for WINDOWS Intellectual Property Disclosure
A formal request for determination of intellectual property rights to the Windows ISM software. Warfield wrote and submitted this to George Mason University in 1994 as a step toward clarifying intellectual ownership so that the software could be legally marketed or distributed as soon as possible. The form contains several long paragraphs describing the history of ISM and the nature of its usefulness. Also contains the names and signatures of the four men who produced the GMU version of ISM software for Windows, one of whom was Benjamin Broome. See also, “Murphy to Broome.”
