Developing a Long-term Research Agenda for the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation

国家研究理事会（NRC）将通过其工程和物理科学部开展一项研究，以协助国家科学基金会制定一个全面的、长期的地震工程研究议程，充分利用乔治E.小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）。 这一努力将导致一份报告，阐明一个动态的，业主包容性的过程，以确定研究需求，确定地震工程的主要问题，适合于综合研究方法，包括分析，计算建模，模拟和物理测试;和评估和评论信息和通信技术的可能作用，合作现场和远程研究。 它将根据短期、中期和长期需求、解决这些需求的一般方案以及研究方案的估计成本和收益制定长期研究计划

The National Research Council (NRC) through its Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, will conduct a study to assist the National Science Foundation in the formulation of a comprehensive, long-term agenda for the earthquake engineering research that fully utilizes the capabilities of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). This effort will result in a report that articulates a dynamic, stakeholder-inclusive process for determining research needs, identifies the principal issues in earthquake engineering amenable to an integrated research approach that incorporates analysis, computational modeling, simulation, and physical testing; and assesses and comments on the possible roles of information and communication technologies for collaborative on-site and remote research. It will produce a long-term research plan based on short-, intermediate-, and long-term needs, general program to address them, and the estimated costs and benefits of the research program
