Models of Bounded Rationality, Vol. 3 Emperically Grounded Economic Reason Herbert A. Simon Cloth / June 1997 Offering alternative models based on such concepts as satisficing
(acceptance of viable choices that may not be the undiscoverable
optimum) and bounded rationality (the limited extent to which rational
calculation can direct human behavior), Simon shows concretely why
more empirical research based on experiments and direct observation,
rather than just statistical analysis of economic aggregates, is
needed. OUT OF STOCK

Scientific Discovery Computational Explorations of the Creative Processes Pat Langley, Herbert A. Simon, Gary L. Bradshaw and Jan M. Zytkow Paper / February 1987 Scientific Discovery examines the nature of scientific research and reviews the arguments for and against a normative theory of discovery; describes the evolution of the BACON programs, which discover quantitative empirical laws and invent new concepts; presents programs that discover laws in qualitative and quantitative data; and ties the results together, suggesting how a combined and extended program might find research problems, invent new instruments, and invent appropriate problem representations.

The Sciences of the Artificial, 2nd Edition Herbert A. Simon Cloth / April 1981 "[A] thoughtful synthesis of Simon's conception of complexity—how it arises, how it can be studied by a scientist, and how it can be coped with, adapted to, and understood by intelligent entities such as human beings and 'artificial intelligence' programs."
