Abstract

When Nobel laureate Herbert A. Simon died on February 9, 2001, the fields of psychology, computer science, political science, public and business administration, economics, and sociology lost an intellectual giant recognized and honored as a leader, champion, scientific revolutionary, and builder. Beyond producing a prodigious body of seminal work in each of these areas, Simon was a founding father of cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence and the architect of multiple outstanding departments and programs at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), his home base from 1947 to his death. Over a career that spanned more than six decades, Simon steadily raised the scientific rigor applied to explaining the behavior of economic, cognitive, administrative, political, computer, and social systems.
