2006 ACES Workshop: Simulating and Forecasting Earthquakes and Tsunamis with Information Technology; Maui, Hawaii; April 2006

将于2006年4月举行的ACES研讨会将把美国研究人员与来自环亚太国家的国际科学同行聚集在一起。ACES是亚太经合组织地震模拟合作组织（ACES），这是一个由科学家组成的国际合作组织，自1999年2月以来一直在开会。2006年4月讲习班的目的是审查几个关键科学和技术领域的最新进展，并为今后的进展制定联合计划。感兴趣的主题将包括地震和海啸预报；使能技术和计算方法，包括web服务和网格计算；建模和仿真进展；以及使用新型卫星测量，例如合成孔径雷达干涉测量（InSAR）。ACES的活动和会议涉及来自所有参与国家的学生和学术界。许多结果还通过新闻稿和新闻报道向更广泛的公众传播。这项工作将促进我们对地震过程的理解，从而提高我们减轻地震造成的破坏和生命损失的能力。通过协调ACES的国家项目，在研究人员个人层面建立了有效的伙伴关系。

The ACES workshop in April 2006, will bring together US researchers with international scientific colleagues from the Asia-Pacific Rim countries. ACES is the APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation (ACES), an international collaboration of scientists that has been meeting since February 1999. The purpose of the April 2006 workshop will be to review recent progress in several key areas of science and technology and to formulate joint plans for future progress. Topics of interest will include earthquake and tsunami forecasting; enabling technologies and computational methods, including web services and grid computing; modeling and simulation advances; and the use of new types of satellite measurements, for example Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR). ACES activities and meetings involve students and academia from all of the participating countries. Many of the results are also communicated to the broader public through press releases and news stories. The work will advance our understanding of earthquake processes, and therefore improve our ability to mitigate damage and loss of life from these events. Effective partnerships have been built at the individual researcher level, through the coordination of National Programs through ACES.
