The Interpretive Structural Modeling process, which I invented in 1970-73,
and which adds a very strong formal logic base to intuitive beliefs, and
which has been in use in software since 1974 all around the world, and
which was in place well before the word "groupware" came into being,
apparently has continued to escape the attention of the groupware
community.
One of the most interesting applications ever done was carried out in
Queensland, Australia, in the middle 1970s by Brian Carss. It related to
changing the Australian teacher education system by incorporating
in-service education.
