A seven page bibliography of documents stored in the BIBLWIM database that related to Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). Gathered to assist one of Warfield’s PhD students.
Panetics Workshop Aug 2001
Contains letter from Warfield to Ralph Widner regarding the August 2001 Panetics Workshop, the Workshop Plan, and the Workshop Report. Workshop was facilitated by Carol Jeffrey.
Twelve Laws of Design Science: Transparencies
Transparencies to accompany the talk “Twelve Laws of Design Science.” Presented at Fourth International Symposium on Industrial Engineering and Systems, ITESM (San Luis Potosi), San Luis Potosi, Mexico, 3-6 April 1990. Elements of this paper would later be incorporated into a longer paper titled “Generic Planning: Research Results and Applications.”
Relating the Blocks of the Cosmic Partition
Copies of the transparencies used to accompany presentation on “On the Choice of Framers for Systems Studies,” presented at Society for General systems Research, Los Angeles, California, 27-31 May 1985.
John Warfield's Work and Related Topics

The Magical Number Three--Plus or Minus Zero: Transparencies
A set of 13 transparencies used for “The Magical Number Three--Plus or Minus Zero.” Presented at the International Conference of Society for General Systems Research, 1-6 June 1987, Budapest, Hungary. The paper reinterpreted the work of George Miller and H.A. Simon from the perspective of mathematical logic and shows that, especially in systems design, three is the “magic number.”
The Domain of Science Model: Transparencies
Transparencies to accompany “The Domain of Science Model: Evolution and Design,” presented at 1986 International Conference on Mental Images, Values & Reality, 30th Annual Meeting of SGSR, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 26-30 May.
Simple System Models Based on Sophisticated Assumptions: Transparencies
Transparencies to accompany a talk titled “Simple System Models Based on Sophisticated Assumptions” that Warfield was supposed to present at the 1988 Annual meeting of the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS). Due to weather he was, however, unable to attend. The paper was later published in Polish with the title "Proste Modele Systemowe Oparte Na Skomplikowanych Zalozeniach: Klucz do Spojnosci w Zlozonym Uniwersum".
Artificial Philosophy and the Decline of Technology: Transparencies (transparencies) Presented at 1989 Simposio Internacao de Comunicao Significao e Conhecimento face as Technologias de Informacao, Sept. 13-15, Lisbon
Transparencies to accompany talk title “Artificial Philosophy and the decline of Technology,” presented at 1989 Simposio Internacao de Comunicao Significao e Conhecimento face as Technologias de Informacao, 13-15 September Lisbon. The paper advocates for a technology based on “deep logic” which utilizes Generic Design Science and a continuous reevaluation process.
