Rationale for NeISS
Growing demand for social simulation models
Build capacity in social simulation
Encourage multi-disciplinary research
Leverage existing UK investments in computation and data resources

Infrastructures for Social Simulation
We need infrastructure to make most effective use of powerful, new research tools
must provide more than simulation software and computational resources
Infrastructures for social simulation should
provide secure access to diverse datasets
support the simulation research lifecycle from problem formulation to publishing of results
enable collaboration through sharing of simulation resources, including models and results

The Research Lifecycle
Share results and conclusions and
discuss with collaborators
Explore datasets and determine suitability
Analyse results and compare with
hypothesis
Review literature and generate hypothesis
Write papers
Build models and execute
them
Publish papers
Find datasets related to proposed area of
work

NeISS Architecture Overview
![Page 7: Infrastructures for Social Simulation Rob Procter National e-Infrastructure for Social Simulation ISGC 2010 Social Simulation Tutorial](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f355503460f94c53efc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
NeISS Architecture
Simulation service layer comprising fundamental components
Composition layer in which individual services composed into workflows
Architecture layer provides tools and methods needed to access simulation services and workflows, and combines them into domain-specific exemplars
Deployment layer provides user access to tools and exemplars
