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 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. | 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. | ||

===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]]. | |||

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. | ||
