summary
This paper presents a method based on evolutionary algorithms for jointly optimizing simplicity and fidelity in fitting heuristic models of collective behavior. (PK: It seems like an alternative to optimizing simplicity would be using cross-validation.)

summary
This paper proposes uses minimal Turing tests as model validation for agent-based models. They show that even when the model has aggregate statistical properties similar to real data, humans can still distinguish between model and data.
