This award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is for a six-month, scoping study to define detailed user requirements, hardware and software technologies, and needed support infrastructure for the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) system for the NEES collaboratory. The NEES collaboratory is part of the NEES Major Research Equipment project, which will be developed during 2000-2004 and operated from 2004-2014. The collaboratory will connect, through a high performance network, distributed major earthquake engineering research equipment such as shake tables, centrifuges, tsunami/wave tanks, large-scale laboratory experimentation systems, and field experimentation and monitoring installations. The collaboratory will also provide a curated repository for experimental data, enable teleobservation and teleoperation participation in earthquake engineering experiments, and provide capabilities for computation and distributed simulation. The scoping study will identify the needs of the earthquake engineering research community as well as the advanced networking, data management, and computation technology that will be available in 2004 and beyond for the NEES collaboratory. Based on this information, this project will develop a system architecture, a detailed system design, and an implementation plan for the NEES collaboratory. Project participants include the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Argonne National Laboratory, University of Michigan, and University of Southern California.

该奖项授予伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校，用于为期六个月的范围界定研究，以确定详细的用户需求、硬件和软件技术，以及 NEES 合作实验室的地震工程模拟网络 (NEES) 系统所需的支持基础设施。 NEES 合作实验室是 NEES 主要研究设备项目的一部分，该项目将在 2000 年至 2004 年期间开发，并于 2004 年至 2014 年运行。 该合作实验室将通过高性能网络连接分布式主要地震工程研究设备，如振动台、离心机、海啸/波浪池、大型实验室实验系统以及现场实验和监测装置。该合作机构还将提供一个精心策划的实验数据存储库，实现地震工程实验中的远程观测和远程操作参与，并提供计算和分布式模拟功能。 范围界定研究将确定地震工程研究界的需求以及 NEES 合作实验室将在 2004 年及以后提供的先进网络、数据管理和计算技术。 基于这些信息，该项目将为 NEES 合作开发系统架构、详细系统设计和实施计划。 项目参与者包括国家超级计算应用中心和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的中美洲地震中心、阿贡国家实验室、密歇根大学和南加州大学。
