[iris-bulk] AGU special session on high performance seismic networks

[IRIS]

Special session on high performance seismic networks at AGU 2007  
Joint Assembly, 22-25 May 2007, Acapulco

Announcing a special AGU session on operating high performance  
seismic networks at the 2007 Joint Assembly, being held 22-25 May  
2007, in Acapulco, Mexico. The deadline of abstract submissions is  
March 1, 2007.

Session Title:
Operating High Performance Seismic Networks – Challenges and Tools

Session Description:
A number of national, regional and global seismic networks have set  
high targets for operational performance. These targets may include  
station uptime, network average uptime, percent data availability in  
near-real time, and product availability or dissemination targets.  
Examples are the Global Seismographic Network (GSN), the  
International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty  
Organization (IMS), the Transportable Array (TA) of the USArray  
element of the Earthscope facility, the Backbone National Network of  
the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), as well as networks  
operated by the U.S. Air Force and the national networks of several  
countries. This session is envisioned as an opportunity for network  
operators, managers and technical staff to gather and share  
expertise, tools and strategies for maintaining high-performance  
seismic networks. While many of these networks have different mission  
goals and use a variety of different data formats, hardware and  
software, all share the goals of high data recovery, operational and  
cost efficiency, and quality customer service. Many have developed  
tools and strategies for achieving these goals, and the planning  
assumption for the session will be that all participants will benefit  
from sharing information and expertise.
