Dialogic Design Science: Difference between revisions

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>

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]].
