  • Introduction

    • The e-Infrastructure for Social Simulation project (e-ISS) was renamed to the National e-Infrastructure for Social Simulation (Ne-ISS) at its Kick-Off Meeting.
    • NeISS is a JISC funded project under the Information Environment Programme 2009-11.
    • The project name NeISS is pronounced "nice".
    • It started on 2009-04-01 and is due to complete on 2012-03-31.
    • The University of Leeds research grant code for e-ISS is:
      • RG.GEOG.476950
    • This page is for organising information about NeISS. It is useful in addition to other Web Content and resources about it:

  • People

    • There were over a dozen contributors and collaborators.
    • A fraction of the project team have worked on it throughout.
    • A list was maintained on Andy Turner's NCeSS Sakai Portal : My Workspace Worksite : Wiki : e-ISS Page
      • http://portal.ncess.ac.uk/access/wiki/site/%7Ea.g.d.turner%40leeds.ac.uk/e-iss.html
      • This list was incomplete, but seems to no longer be available.
        • Indeed the NCeSS Sakai Portal may no longer be available which is a severe blow to the sustainability and long term use of the data and software developed as part of this research.
        • There were others involved in a Steering Committee and through collaborating projects and others that supporting the project via the provision of computational infrastructure.
        • Thanks to all that were involved.

    • Meetings
      • There were several types of meeting:
        • Management meetings
        • Whole project meetings
        • Meetings at partner sites
        • Ad Hoc Meetings
      • The project began with an open blog style reporting of meetings, but this was shut down by project management with a decree that project meeting notes were to remain confidential.
