Considerable progress has been made in recent years in earthquake simulation techniques in geotechnical engineering through, for example, centrifuge modeling, 1g shaking table experiments, and numerical and field simulations. These latest developments significantly enhance the research capabilities in geotechnical earthquake engineering, and generate enormous opportunities as well as great challenges for this research community. These newly-available capabilities significantly expand the types of research that can be conducted. For example, the simulation of large field structures such as earth dams, in-depth field investigations, and closer-to-real-life computer simulations become feasible. At the same time, the significant investment in research facilities combined with the limited funding resources available requires that future research focus on making maximum use of these new capabilities. This workshop will help to facilitate this by bringing together experts from around the world to discuss the capabilities and limitations of the new facilities, to discuss the research topics that can be conducted using these facilities, to develop ideas of collaboration among groups of researchers, to find innovative and effective ways of information dissemination, and to address the unique challenges resulting from the implementation of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES).Approximately 30 US and international experts will meet in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2001. In addition, a web discussion site will be setup before, and continue after the workshop. It will be accessible not only to the workshop participants, but to all interested researchers, thus allowing non-participants to join in and contribute to the workshop discussions. The workshop proceedings will be posted online for wide dissemination and accessibility.

近年来，岩土工程地震模拟技术取得了很大进展，例如离心模型、1g振动台试验、数值模拟和现场模拟。 这些最新的发展大大提高了岩土地震工程的研究能力，并产生了巨大的机遇，也为这个研究界带来了巨大的挑战。 这些新的能力大大扩展了可以进行的研究类型。 例如，大型现场结构（如土坝）的模拟，深入的现场调查和更接近现实生活的计算机模拟变得可行。 与此同时，对研究设施的大量投资加上有限的资金资源，要求今后的研究集中于最大限度地利用这些新的能力。 这次研讨会将有助于促进这一点，使来自世界各地的专家聚集在一起，讨论新设施的能力和局限性，讨论可以利用这些设施进行的研究课题，发展研究人员团体之间的合作思想，寻找创新和有效的信息传播方式，并解决实施乔治E.小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）：大约30名美国和国际专家将于2001年7月在俄亥俄州的克利夫兰举行会议。 此外，将在研讨会之前建立一个网络讨论网站，并在研讨会之后继续。 不仅研讨会与会者，而且所有感兴趣的研究人员都可以使用，从而使非与会者能够参加研讨会的讨论并作出贡献。 讲习班的会议记录将在网上公布，以便广泛传播和查阅。
