THE SCIENCES OF THE ARTIFICIAL - HERBERT A SIMO...

Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence in the expanded and updated third
edition from 1996  with a new introduction by John E. Laird. Herbert Simon's classic and
influential The Sciences of the Artificial declares definitively that there can be a science
not only of natural phenomena but also of what is artificial. Exploring the commonalities of
artificial systems  including economic systems  the business firm  artificial intelligence 
complex engineering projects  and social plans  Simon argues that designed systems are a valid
field of study  and he proposes a science of design. For this third edition  originally
published in 1996  Simon added new material that takes into account advances in cognitive
psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis:
that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action.
Simon won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978 for his research into the decision-making
process within economic organizations and the Turing Award (considered by some the computer
science equivalent to the Nobel) with Allen Newell in 1975 for contributions to artificial
intelligence  the psychology of human cognition  and list processing. The Sciences of the
Artificial distills the essence of Simon's thought accessibly and coherently. This reissue of
the third edition makes a pioneering work available to a new audience.
