EU-IndiaGrid2 @ 7th International Conference on eScience
8 December 2011, Stockholm, Sweden
Being scheduled within the 7th International Conference on eScience, the workshop was the project final one and provided a final recap of the status of applications developed through the EU-IndiaGrid and other eInfrastructures thanks to the work developed by EU-IndiaGrid2 project in the last 2 years.
The workshop had also the relevant benefit of presenting the latest new application which started to be developed by EUIG2 consortium in March 2011, “Definition of seismic and tsunami hazard scenarios by exploiting EU-IndiaGrid e-infrastructures” presented by Stefano Cozzini, CNR/IOM.
Seismic risk mitigation is a worldwide concern and the development of effective mitigation strategies requires sound seismic hazard assessment. The performances of the classical probabilistic approach to seismic hazard assessment (PSHA), currently in use in several countries worldwide, turned out fatally inadequate when considering the earthquakes occurred worldwide during the last decade, including the recent destructive earthquake in Japan (M 9.0, 11 March 2011). Nowadays it is recognised by the engineering community that probabilistic Peak Ground Acceleration estimates alone are not sufficient for the adequate design of special buildings and infrastructures.
