A report on a workshop held at the University of the Aegean, Island of Chios, Greece, 24-27 August, 1988, organized by the University of the Aegean in cooperation with George Mason University. The report contains the `Chios Declaration' adopted by the conference. This Declaration, a document which addresses the human need to master complexity, was signed by 24 persons associated with the workshop. Nineteen people, from six nations were active workshop participants.

A study of the different kinds of detractions that are at work in system design and how they affect design. Warfield classifies them into five types, each with their own variety of detractions. The five are: Individual, organizational/managerial, academic, professional, and social. Because most design activity involves more than one of these types, there is a high probability of bad design. A companion piece, “Oversight and Steering for Effective System Design” covers overcoming these detractions. Presented at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the International Society for General Systems Research, 23- 27 May 23-27, Omni Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri.

Written in October, 1989 prior to the Great University Seminars, this document is a memorandum, or short philosophical statement on the meaning and purpose of university education, with references to ideas from Ralph Barton Perry and Russell L. Ackoff, among others. Folder also includes handwritten and typed notes by Warfield, dealing with the Great University project, and a photocopy of a paper by Jacques Derrida titled: "The Principle of Reason: The University in the Eyes of its Pupils."

Results of Interactive Management Workshop held in April and May 1995, for Center for Drugs Evaluation and Research and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. Both of these Centers are part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Presented at Ford Motor Company Research Laboratories, Dearborn, Michigan, 7-8 May 1990.

This is the tentative translation of title of an article, translated by M. Karamonoff, which appears in Michael Decleris, ed. Systems Governance (Athens, Greece: A. N. Sakkoylas, 1989): 143-210. The book, written in Greek, is a compendium of eight or nine articles which are used as teaching material at the Greek National Centre of Public Administration. Article includes references to Warfield’s work and many of his figures and tables including the Domain of Science Model.

Hard copy of the paper is located in Box 24/ Folder 13 of Warfield Collection C0016, in Fenwick Library. A description of work carried on during the previous 10 years, when about a dozen college classes were taught involving the Generic Design Science, by Warfield or his closest associates. Other classes involving the material have been taught at other locations. The paper reports only that subset of these classes which was team taught, with Warfield presenting lectures. Presented at the Annual Conference of American Society for Engineering Education, 25-30 June University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Written for general audience. Examines Japanese management and manufacturing methods and compares them with Warfield's Interactive Management process. Recommends that, in spite of the success of the Japanese management tools, Warfield's IM process should replace other methods.

Describes for general audiences the several different interpretations of what is meant by Environmental Education. Discusses: (1) who is active in environmental education; (2)comparisons between formal and informal environmental education; (3) the normative model of environmental education and comparison of environmental education, as it exists, with the normative model; (4) the need for change strategies; (5) some potential change strategies; and (6) conclusions and recommendations. Written as part of a large environmental education project sponsored by the U.S. Office of Environmental Education. Full Title: “A Descriptive Analysis of Environmental Education, Fourth Quarterly Report, Volume IX. [Project title: Development of an Interpretive Structural Model and Strategies for Implementation Based on Descriptive and Prescriptive Analysis of Resources for Environmental Education/Studies. Contract #300-700-4028].”

A paper in draft form, which explains the history of the development of the situation room (DEMOSOPHIA) used in the Center for Interactive Management and tells why it incorporates certain features. Also included is a discussion of the 'grades' of use of this room, explaining why activity in the room should be subject to a priority scale.
