Showcasing the Features and Capabilities of NEESgrid: A Grid Based System for the Earthquake Engineering Domain

The NEESgrid project is revolutionizing the way earthquake engineering (EE) researchers collaborate to plan, perform, share and publish research even while being geographically separated. The proposed demonstration is in complement to the NEESgrid paper titled "Distributed Hybrid Earthquake Engineering Experiments: Experiences with a Ground-Shaking Grid Application" also presented at this conference. It showcases some of NEESgrid's features and capabilities in the area of distributed hybrid experiments, as well as new features developed since the distributed hybrid experiment was conducted. These new features and capabilities are in the areas of simulation portal, electronic notebook, data modeling, and improved live streaming of near real time sensor and video data.
