Abstract

In the previous chapters we have described our experiences in simulating for the COVID-19 crisis. We also described how we envision that we can get to a simulation platform that will be more supportive for simulating a next crisis. In this chapter we will recapture a number of the challenges that need to be faced in order to make social simulations grow to their real potential in crisis situations. The challenges range from theory and conceptual models to implementation and use of the simulations. Moreover, we argue that the development of the simulation platform should be accompanied with an effort of the community to connect to established advisory boards and committees in order to integrate the social simulations in the normal set of tools that are used by crisis teams.
