What is NEES?

The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is an Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Science Gateway delivering information technology tools and infrastructure that allow earthquake engineers to remotely participate in experiments, perform hybrid simulations, organize and share data, and collaborate with colleagues.

NEES provides a shared national network of 14 experimental facilities, collaborative tools, a centralized data repository, and earthquake simulation software to enable advanced research based on simulations of the ways buildings, bridges, utility systems, coastal regions, and geomaterials perform during seismic events. For more, see the NEES web site.

For more about Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Science Gateways, see the Science Gateways Overview and the list of current Science Gateways in the XSEDE User Portal. For information about registering and managing an XSEDE Science Gateway, see Gateways for principal investigators (PIs). For information about planning and designing an XSEDE Science Gateway, see The Role of the Developer.
