As an original innovation proposed by Chinese scientists, the goal of Hall for Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering (HWME) is to solve the complex problems related to Open Giant Complex Systems (OCGSs). Different from other methodologies, HWME is not a collection of formulas, nor is it an abstract framework built on some axioms. Its essential is to unite the wisdom of experts, the intelligence of computers, all sorts of data and information, and to unite theories of different disciplines and knowledge of human being to build a man-computer co-operated intelligent system and problems solving system. Successful application of this methodology means fully utilizing the holistic advantages and integrative advantages of this system. Its core theory is synthesizing the human mind and machine intelligence into a whole As a man-computer co-operated giant intelligent system, HWME heavily relies on information technologies and intelligence technologies, while, the latest progress of information technologies, especially network technologies provide a firm base for the implementation of HWME. The internet is a good example. Now we are devoting ourselves to implementing HWME with advanced information technologies, intelligence technologies and noetic science, and to building HWME as a new type of decision support system in information era. Aiming at this goal, when analyzing and implementing HWME, this paper involves with the following aspects: 1. A detailed introduction of the characteristics, theoretical framework, and applying process of HWME. And, the certainty and necessity of considering HWME as a new scheme of DSS in the information era was argued by analyzing the evolution trend of DSS. Some crucial problems of designing and implementing HWME were identified from the view of DSS. 2. Detailed introductions and comments on two of the most famous schools of complexity science: the Structure-Based school (SB) and Systems Dynamics school (SD). The similarity and complementarity of the two schools were analyzed. And, their relationship with HWME was discussed. At last, the integration strategy of the achievements of two schools to HWME was proposed. 3. Study on the defective group thinking patterns in HWME. Some defective group thinking patterns frequently occurred in group discussions were defined and discussed by applying the achievements of SB, SD and noetic science. In this study, the expert group was viewed as a dynamic system with complex internal interactions. The enhancing processes of these defective patterns were described one by one using system loop graphs. And the solutions were proposed from the views of discussion organizing, speaking format, managing functions of the discussion chairman and etc. For the first time, the achievements of two complex science schools and noetic science were combined together to study and to h
