Herbert A. Simon

Author: Herbert A. Simon

Herbert A. Simon is winner of the 1975 ACM Turing Award, considered the Nobel Prize of Computing. The reason he was given the award is as follows:



"In joint scientific efforts extending over twenty years, initially in collaboration with J. C. Shaw at the RAND Corporation, and subsequentially with numerous faculty and student collegues at Carnegie-Mellon University, they have made basic contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing".
