Continuing his exploration of the organization of complexity and the science of design, this new edition of Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence adds a chapter that sorts out the current themes and tools -- chaos, adaptive systems, genetic algorithms -- for analyzing complexity and complex systems.There are updates throughout the book as well. These take into account important advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action.

继续探索复杂性的组织和设计科学，新版赫伯特·西蒙（Herbert Simon）关于人工智能的经典著作增加了一章，梳理了当前的主题和工具——混沌、自适应系统，遗传算法——用于分析复杂性和复杂系统。整本书也有更新。这些考虑了认知心理学和设计科学的重要进展，同时确认并扩展了本书的基本论点：物理符号系统具有智能行为的必要和充分手段。
