The AGORAS does not wish to restrict scientists and practitioners from across the globe in using and further developing the science and the methodology, but it is interested in maintaining high standards and ensuring that applications are implemented in strict compliance with the science. The AGORAS also certifies participation in official informational events, as well as achievement of levels of proficiency of practice through its certified SDD training and apprenticeship programs. [[Future Worlds Center]] is the first international body that has implemented an [[SDD Certification Scheme]] in collaboration with the AGORAS. | |||

===Foundation=== | ===Foundation=== | ||
The [[Institute for 21st Century Agoras|Agoras Group]], under the leadership of [[Aleco Christakis]] is credited for the development of DDS in its current format. DDS represents a much cleaner, simpler and more efficient implementation than the original [[John N. Warfield]] version. Its greatest advantage is that, along the model of science, it foresees a continuous feedback from the arena. Its original format was grounded on four [[Foundational Axioms of Dialogic Design Science]], six [[Laws of Dialogic Design Science]] and a number [[Key Definitions used in Dialogic Design Science]]. Later, the community converged to six axioms and seven laws<ref>[http://dialogicdesignscience.wikispaces.com The wiki of the Agoras for DDS]</ref> | |||
===Theory=== | |||
The theory comprises primarily of understanding the [[Laws of Dialogic Design Science]], the roles of various actors, and certain key scientific process and phenomena including the [[Interpretive Structural Modeling]] algorithm, [[Erroneous Priorities Effect]], [[Spreadthink]], [[Situational Complexity]], Theory of Change, etc. | |||
=== | ===Methodology=== | ||
The [[Structured Democratic Dialogue Process]] is grounded on the theory and expects Facilitators to fully comply with all requirements imposed by [[Dialogic Design Science]]. | |||
===Software Support=== | |||
The [[John N. Warfield]] group has developed a DOS implementation of [[Interactive Management]] in which the [[Interpretive Structural Modeling] algorithm was embedded. This software is given away for free on George Mason University's page<ref>[http://www.gmu.edu/depts/t-iasis/ism/ism.htm Download ISM Software by Warfield]</ref>. When [[Aleco Christakis]] founded [[CWA Ltd.]] in 1989, his team developed [[Cogniscope v.1]] and later [[Cogniscope v.2]], which run on Windows 95/XP computers. In 2010 [[Aleco Christakis|Christakis]] donated the source code of [[Cogniscope v.2]] to [[Future Worlds Center]] with the agreement that its technology associate [[Ekkotek High-tech business incubator|Ekkotek Ltd.]] upgrades it to [[Cogniscope v.3]], which was released a few years later. [[Future Worlds Center]] has developed [[IdeaPrism]] and [[Concertina]] and the Ministry of Education in Michigan has developed [[Logosofia]]. | |||
===Applications=== | |||
The first applications of DDS were conducted by the [[John N. Warfield]] group in the late 80s, early 90s. The methodology was then referred to as [[Interactive Management]] (IM). His [[Handbook of Interactive Management]] summarizes a few dozen of applications upon which the science was grounded, as well as individuals who at the time were certified to conduct IM workshops. [[Aleco Christakis]], an associate of both [[John N. Warfield]] and [[Hasan Özbekhan]] is credited for spreading the science and the methodology. The two books co-authored by him [[Ken Bausch]]<ref>[[How People Harness Their Collective Wisdom And Power to Construct the Future]]</ref> and [[Tom Flanagan]]<ref>[[The Talking Point: Creating an Environment for Exploring Complex Meaning]]</ref> also catalogue more than 100 applications conducted world-wide. [[Benjamin Broome]] also an associate of [[John N. Warfield| Warfield]] has introduced IM to the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]], or which several [[Future Worlds Center]] associates were members (i.e., [[Yiannis Laouris]], [[Harry Anastasiou]], [[Marios Michaelides]]). The [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]] conducted at least 50 IM applications between 1995-2002. [[Future Worlds Center]] introduced the methodology in many of its projects in 2005. | |||
