Herb Simon contributed quite a bit, too long to list here. Look at Wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon … One item was his profound work & contributions to Decision Theory. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/4cd9/16ece13802f2062b25dffdf1e109934aa396.pdf … and GPS, with N&S, which influenced many subsequent key projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Problem_Solver …
