In this candid and witty autobiography, Nobel laureate Herbert A. Simon looks at his distinguished and varied career, continually asking himself whether (and how) what he learned as a scientist helps to explain other aspects of his life.A brilliant polymath in an age of increasing specialization, Simon is one of those rare scholars whose work defines fields of inquiry. Crossing disciplinary lines in half a dozen fields, Simon's story encompasses an explosion in the information scie...

Continuing his exploration of the organization of complexity and the science of design, this new edition of Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence adds a chapter that sorts out the current themes and tools—chaos, adaptive systems, genetic algorithms—for analyzing complexity and complex systems. There are updates throughout the book as well. These take into account important advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's...

Après avoir rapidement présenté l’auteur, ce texte expose les travaux d’Herbert Simon selon le fil directeur de ses recherches : le processus de prise de décision. Dans un premier temps, nous abordons sa contribution à l’évolution de la gestion avec le concept de rationalité limitée puis de la rationalité procédurale. Pour mieux appréhender les tenants et les aboutissants de ces rationalités (limitée et procédurale), l’accent est ensuite mis sur les fondements du raisonnement Simonien, ave...

« Un individu ne peut appréhender qu’un nombre limité de choses à la fois. La raison fondamentale pour laquelle la définition de la situation par un responsable diffère largement de la situation objective est que celle-ci est beaucoup trop complexe pour être saisie dans tout son détail. La conduite rationnelle implique la substitution à la réalité complexe d’un schéma de la réalité assez simple pour pouvoir être pris en charge par une activité résolutoire. » Ainsi s’expriment Marc...

At the time of its initial publication, Public Administration helped to define this field of study and practice by introducing two major new emphases: an orientation toward human behavior and human relations in organizations, and an emphasis on the interaction between administration, politics, and policy. Without neglecting more traditional concerns with organization structure, Simon, Thompson, and Smithburg viewed administration in its behavioral and political contexts. The viewpoints the...

The special session on Decision Economics (DECON) is a scientific forum held annually and intended to share ideas, projects, research results, models and experiences associated with the complexity of behavioural decision processes and socio‐economic phenomena. DECON 2017 was held at the Polytechnic of Porto, ISEP, Portugal, as part of the 14th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence.For the second consecutive year, the Editors of this book have...

Here, several leading experts in the area of cognitive science summarize their current research programs, tracing Herbert A. Simon's influence on their own work -- and on the field of information processing at large. Topics covered include problem- solving, imagery, reading, writing, memory, expertise, instruction, and learning. Collectively, the chapters reveal a high degree of coherence across the various specialized disciplines within cognition -- a coherence largely attributable to the...

Dieses Buch mit seinem Inhalt wird den meisten Lesern befremdlich erscheinen. Es enthält nichts Neues, keine klugen Ratschläge, keine Weisheiten oder Geheimnisse, die sie nicht schon wüssten. Vielmehr ist es die Beschreibung eines Menschenlebens, seine Entstehung, sein Ankommen und sein Heranwachsen in einer Welt, die er nicht versteht. Es versucht, die Ursachen des menschlichen Elends und seine Verstrickungen im Alltag zu erklären. Es möchte begreiflich machen, warum ersehnter Friede dem ...
