The special session on Decision Economics (DECON) is a scientific
forum held annually, which is focused on sharing ideas, projects,
research results, models, and experiences associated with the
complexity of behavioural decision processes and socio-economic
phenomena. In 2018, DECON was held at Campus Tecnologico de la
Fabrica de Armas, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Toledo, Spain,
as part of the 15th International Conference on Distributed
Computing and Artificial Intelligence. For the third consecutive
year, this book have drawn inspiration from Herbert A. Simon's
interdisciplinary legacy and, in particular, is devoted to designs,
models, and techniques for boundedly rational decisions, involving
several fields of study and expertise. It is worth noting that the
recognition of relevant decision-making takes place in a range of
critical subject areas and research fields, including economics,
finance, information systems, small and international business
management, operations, and production. Therefore, decision-making
issues are of fundamental importance in all branches of economics
addressed with different methodological approaches. As a matter of
fact, the study of decision-making has become the focus of intense
research efforts, both theoretical and applied, forming a veritable
bridge between theory and practice as well as science and business
organisations, whose pillars are based on insightful cutting-edge
experimental, behavioural, and computational approaches on the one
hand, and celebrating the value of science as well as the close
relationship between economics and complexity on the other. In this
respect, the international scientific community acknowledges
Herbert A. Simon's research endeavours to understand the processes
involved in economic decision-making and their implications for the
advancement of economic professions. Within the field of
decision-making, indeed, Simon has become a mainstay of bounded
rationality and satisficing. His rejection of the standard
(unrealistic) decision-making models adopted by neoclassical
economists inspired social scientists worldwide with the purpose to
develop research programmes aimed at studying decision-making
empirically, experimentally, and computationally. The main
achievements concern decision-making for individuals, firms,
markets, governments, institutions, and, last but not least,
science and research. This book of selected papers tackles these
issues that Simon broached in a professional career spanning more
than sixty years. The Editors of this book dedicated it to Herb.
