Herbert Alexander Simon (June 15, 1916 – February 9, 2001) was an American scholar whose work influenced the fields of computer science, economics, and cognitive psychology. His primary research interest was decision-making within organizations and he is best known for the theories of " bounded rationality " and " satisficing ".
The Sciences of the Artificial (1969) [1] is a book by Herbert A. Simon in the domain of the learning sciences and artificial intelligence; it is especially influential in design theory. [2] The book is themed around how artificial phenomena ought to be categorized, discussing as to whether such phenomena belong within the domain of 'science'. [3]

Herbert A. Simon formulated one of the first models of heuristics, known as satisficing. His more general research program posed the question of how humans make decisions when the conditions for rational choice theory are not met, that is how people decide under uncertainty. [ 13 ]
The term satisficing, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice, [2] was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in 1956, [3] [4] although the concept was first posited in his 1947 book Administrative Behavior. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Simon used satisficing to explain the behavior of decision makers under circumstances in which an optimal solution cannot be determined.
Logic Theorist is a computer program written in 1956 by Allen Newell, Herbert A. Simon, and Cliff Shaw. [1] It was the first program deliberately engineered to perform automated reasoning, and has been described as "the first artificial intelligence program".
The physical symbol system hypothesis (PSSH) is a position in the philosophy of artificial intelligence formulated by Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon. They wrote: "A physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for general intelligent action." [1] —
After arguing in favor of the development of unified theories of cognition, Newell puts forward a list of constraints to any unified theory, in that a theory should explain how a mind does the following: Behave flexibly as a function of the environment; Exhibit adaptive (rational, goal-oriented) behavior; Operate in real time
