This booklet was prepared as a handout manual for the Short Course on Complexity Science and Interactive Management taught 15-18 February 1999. Includes chronology related to science of complexity along with definitions of important terms.

An early draft of what would later be published as Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior.

A discussion of how the newly developed Science of Generic Design can be useful when dealing with what Warfield calls “incoherent situations.” Presented at the IX International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), 5-8 August 1990, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia VA.

PowerPoint slides to accompany “Why Johnny Can’t Design Software,” which Warfield planned to be Number 10 in a series of 14 videotapes to be called “Managing the Unmanageable.” In it he reviews his ideas on current software writing patterns and suggests that his Structure-Based Science of Design be implemented as an antidote. Originally presented at IEEE Southern Maryland Joint Communications, Computers and Electromagnetic Compatibility Chapters, Lexington Park, MD, 24 April 2000.

A list of about nineteen names of long-ago or far away scholars whose thinking has influenced Warfield's work.

A series of twenty questions about complexity Warfield introduces and answers. Covers topics including the language used, process requirements, etc. for solving complex problems.

Reprinted from a presentation at 1968 IFAC Symposium, Cleveland, Ohio along with correspondence with editor of Automatica, which published the piece.

Introduces the concept of design malpractice and explores how and why it occurs and what can be done to stop it from happening. Discusses the priorities that appear to govern large scale system design and calls for a major change to prevent the continuance of a series of major design disasters. Presented at American Society Mechanical Engineers International Congress on Planning & Design Theory, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, 17-20 August 1987.

Resources Warfield used for a class taught at George Mason University in fall of 1985. This material is also on a set of transparencies at Fenwick Library Special Collections, titled "An Example Of Applying Options Field Methodology - Planning To Go To The Movies."

An introduction Warfield wrote for a “system profile,” or autobiographical piece, by Charles François.
