Herbert Alexander Simon (b. Milwaukee, WI, 1916) (Fig. 1) is best known in computer science for his work in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. As his receipt of the Nobel Prize in Economics for 1978 indicates, his intellectual range is far wider. Trained as a political scientist at the University of Chicago (Ph.D. 1943), he has made substantial and often major contributions not only to political science, but also to the study of organizations, public administration, econometrics, management science and operations research, the philosophical foundations of causality and Newtonian mechanics, and the nature of scientific discovery, as well as to psychology and computer science.
