42. next speaker: Stephen Mahin The Development of the NEES Consortium

43. September 28, 2001 NEES Teleconference • Collaboratory Vision Task Group • Professor Stephen A. Mahin, Co-PIUniversity of California at Berkeley • Associate Task Group Leaders • Professor Philip Liu, Cornell University • Dr. David McCallen, Lawrence Livermore National Lab • Professor Thomas O’Rourke, Cornell University The Development of the NEES Consortium

44. NEES implemented as a collaboratory • The NEES Collaboratory will accelerate intellectual discovery in the field of earthquake engineering and improve seismic safety by: • Bringing researchers, educators and students together with members from the broad earthquake engineering, information technology and computer science communities • Providing them ready access to powerful shared-use, next-generation experimental, computational, information management and communication tools • Facilitating their interaction as if they were “just across the hall” The diversity of talents, backgrounds, experience and disciplinary concerns represented within NEES Collaboratory will provide an unparalleled stimulus to intellectual inquiry. The Development of the NEES Consortium

45. Deliverables • Articulate in a white paper the vision of how the Collaboratory will function • Provide the “performance specifications” to the Task Group on Consortium Organization for what the Consortium must be able to do • Identify efforts external to the Consortium Development award’s scope needed to integrate the components of NEES into a successful whole • Aggressively seek funding for those external efforts, bringing together interested members of the community to work on activities The Development of the NEES Consortium

46. The VisionThing Adopt an approach that is: • Strategic • Systematic • Holistic • Inclusive Build on previous work, and acknowledge expertise Broad definition of community (Data users, research participants, facility operators, etc.) Systematic input from organizational experts, NSF best practices, existing collaboratories, etc. The Development of the NEES Consortium

47. The VisionThing Address issues related to: • Mission of Collaboratory • Nature of Collaboratory activities • Infrastructure, resources and activities required to realize vision • Policy and organizational features needed to realize vision • Mitigating barriers to success NEES will provide the earthquake engineering community ready access to shared-use, next-generation experimental and computational resources, as well as to curated data repositories, in order to accelerate the development and validation of model-based analysis. NSF 00-56 The Development of the NEES Consortium

48. The Vision Thing Address issues related to: • Mission of Collaboratory • Nature of Collaboratory activities • Infrastructure, resources and activities required to realize vision • Policy and organizational features needed to realize vision • Mitigating barriers to success A collaboratory is a network- enabled “…center without walls” in which the nation’s researchers can perform their research without regard to geographical location, interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources, and accessing information in digital libraries.” National Collaboratories: Applying Information Technology to Scientific Research [NRC, 1993] The Development of the NEES Consortium

49. The Vision Thing Address issues related to: • Mission of Collaboratory • Nature of Collaboratory activities • Infrastructure, resources and activities required to realize vision • Policy and organizational features needed to realize vision • Mitigating barriers to success • Research and collaboration functions before, during and after campaigns • Quality of service issues related to collaboration tools and enabling technology Collaboratory Function Levels The Development of the NEES Consortium

50. The Vision Thing Address issues related to: • Mission of Collaboratory • Nature of Collaboratory activities • Infrastructure, resources and activities required to realize vision • Policy and organizational features needed to realize vision • Mitigating barriers to success The NEES Consortium must: • Lead, coordinate and serve as the focal point for NEES • Operate all components of the NEES Collaboratory • Operate under ten-year strategic, business and critical self-assessment plans, • Operate under policies and procedures that address shared-use access, user fees, and operating cost reimbursement policies, etc. • Enhance the interaction of the NEES Collaboratory with the earthquake engineering community to promote integrated experimentation, computation, theory, databases and simulation. • Conduct/coordinate outreach and training activities • Develop connectivity and interactions with other relevant sites located at US academic, federal and national laboratory sites & at international sites • Pursue technology development opportunities • Interface with NSF and other Federal agencies NSF 00-56 The Development of the NEES Consortium
