Simulation-based decision support in the COVID-19 pandemic

The simulation of the spread of infectious diseases is an important tool which can be used to plan required resources and intervention strategies. The researchers have develpoed the COVID-19 pandemic simulation tool CovidSIM which will be extended in this project in order to help answering urgent questions regarding optimal intervention strategies and the corresponding exist strategies. This work will be accompanied by literature studies and data evaluation to provide realisistc simulation settings. Most importantly, the project aims for the simulation of real-world scenarios and a timely communication of their input and output with stakeholders and decision makers.
