Abstract

The introduction of this book sets the stage of performing social simulations in a crisis. The contents of the book are based on the experience of creating a large scale and complex social simulation for the Covid-19 crisis. However, the contents are reaching much further than just this experience. We will show the general contribution that social simulations based on fundamental social-psychological principles can have in times of crises. In times of big societal changes due to a pandemic or other disaster, these simulations can give handles to support decision makers in their difficult task to act in a very short time with many uncertainties. Besides giving our results, we also will indicate why the results are trustworthy and interesting. Finally we also look what challenges should be picked up to convert the successful project into a sustainable research area.
