1) NeESGrid: Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation - collaboration links earthquake researchers across the US with leading-edge computing resources and research equipment and plan, perform, and publish their experiments.
- Shake table; Nevada, Reno
- Reaction wall; Minnesota
- Centrifuge; UC Davis
- Wave basic: Oregon state
- Field Structura; UCLA
- Field geotechnical; Texas
2) Fusion Grid
- Data, codes, analysis routines, visualization codes, and communication tools are all thought of as a network of services available to the scientists.

How could Sakai be used?
A new Synchrontron is being built at Monash with a beam line firing up in 1.5 years. Sakai could be part of an e-Research toolset around that project.
