Social simulation and cognitive models

Title: When does social simulation need cognitive models?
Author: Nigel Gilbert
Reference: Gilbert, N. (2006). When does social simulation need cognitive models.Cognition and Multi-Agent Interaction, 428.

Abstract: Contributors to this volume have explored the ways in which cognitive models or architectures may be helpful or even essential for building simulations. In this epilogue, I shall be considering whether cognitive model are always necessary – is a social simulation necessarily inadequate if it has no or only a very simple model of cognition? If not, is it possible to specify classes of simulations for which cognitive models are necessary or unnecessary?

Notes: Brief editorial with some clear ideas on multi-level agent simulations (but can't seem to be able to find this book online)...
