  2. APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation • ACES is a seven year-long collaboration among scientists interested in earthquake and tsunami predication • Primary goal predicting event occurrence; other related work discusses consequences of event(Earthquake Engineering) • http://www.quakes.uq.edu.au/ACES/ • Chartered under APEC – the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation of 21 economies

  3. 100 Years After the San Francisco Earthquake It is now known that the M ~ 7.9 San Francisco earthquake and fire of April 18, 1906 killed more than 3000 persons. Estimates are that if such an event were to happen again today, damages could easily total well in excess of $500 Billion, with potential fatalities of many thousands of lives.

  4. The 2nd ACES Workshop on October 15-20, 2000 in Tokyo & Hakone More than 100 researchers in earthquake physics and computational science participated in this workshop from around the world.

  7. In its first seven years, ACES has: Enhanced international cooperation and understanding Stimulated new computational science and technology Laid the foundations for a the new field of earthquake simulations Established earthquake science that is analytical and predictive rather than simply descriptive & observational In its second five years, ACES must: Exploit inevitable “data deluge” and detailed simulations across micro to macro scales Develop a series of science-based hazard mitigation products Centralize the role of information technology with cross economy infrastructure Expand the membership to include other economies Support integrated science and products of publicinterest across the member economies iSERVO International Solid Earth Research Observatory(synergy with other sciences!)

Zebker, Stanford) Role of Space Technology Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) can detect changes (both large and small) in surface deformation of the earth’s crust over synoptic scales. At present we are limited to isolated, static images.

  9. Role of Information Technology and Grids in ACES Numerical simulations of physical, biological and social systems Engineering design Economic analysis and planning Sensor networks and sensor webs High performance computing Data mining and pattern analysis Distance collaboration Distance learning Public outreach and education Emergency response communication and planning Geographic Information Systems Resource allocation and management

  12. Interoperability Summary • Need to define common infrastructure and domain specific standards • Not too many “historical” constraints; could adopt GT4, OMII, …… • Build Interoperable Infrastructure gatewayed to existing legacy applications and Grids • Generic Middleware • Grid software including workflow • Portals/Problem Solving environments incl. visualization • We need to ensure that we can make security, job submission, portal, data access (sharing) mechanisms in different economies interoperate • Geographic Information Systems GIS • Use services as defined by Open Geospatial Consortium (Web Map and Feature Services) http://www.crisisgrid.net/ • Earthquake/Tsunami Science Specific • Satellites, sensors (GPS, Seismic) • Fault, Tsunami … Characteristics stored in databases • QuakeTables developed by SERVOGrid can be used Internationally
