The EA Plan
(11:30 AM to 11:45 AM) SG
3
Architecture Approach
(System Architecture Document)

Develop common infrastructure that can used
across all NEES applications
– Balance generic mechanisms, extensibility for
future growth, efficiency for application specific
tasks

Validate against user requirements
– Input from user requirements analysis, site visits


Extending proven grid technologies
Developing custom solutions for NEES
specific requirements (e.g. Data, DAQ, Video
services)
4
The Early Adopter Program
(from the EA Document)

Spiral Model
– Iterative deployment, testing and refinement
– Timeline roughly 6 months (this phase)

EA sites
– RPI, Reno, Oregon State

Shadow Sites and other users
– NEES Equipment Sites
– Researchers in Earthquake Engineering field
