Participative Methodology for Public System Planning
The first public description of Warfield’s new Interpretive Structural Modeling concept, a methodology by which complex problems could be graphically displayed for group study. Warfield considered it the very first paper ever presented on the use of Boolean algebra to construct graphical displays as decision making models. Presented at International Symposium on Systems Engineering & Analysis, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, 23-27 October 1972.
Participative Conceptual Design System. C
A draft of a research proposal submitted to Division of Engineering, National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C to further work on Interpretive Structural Modeling.
