About the Book
Herbert A. Simon’s The Sciences of the Artificial is a foundational work in the field of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and the science of design. In this third edition, Simon continues his exploration of the organization of complexity, updating the book to include current themes and tools like chaos theory, adaptive systems, and genetic algorithms.
This revised edition introduces a new chapter that addresses these contemporary topics in the context of analyzing complexity and complex systems. Simon also incorporates updates based on recent advances in cognitive psychology and design science, reinforcing and extending the original thesis: a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action.
Notably, the chapter "Economic Reality" has been revised to reflect Simon’s evolving views on the roles of organizations and markets in economic systems, providing a more nuanced perspective on economic theory.
The Sciences of the Artificial remains a vital text for students and professionals in fields such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, economics, and design, offering deep insights into how systems can be structured to solve complex problems.
