EEWD is a demonstration software to be used by scientists and EEW datacentres, or by stakeholders in close collaboration with scientists and EEW datacentres.

EEWD is designed as a client application of a separate compatible Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system. As a client application, EEWD will display the warnings on a map, together with rapid computation of related distribution of co-seismic ground motions.

EEWD connects to the EEW system via an activeMQ broker server, using the STOMP protocol, and supports the quakeml-rt format for incoming EEW messages.

Further information on EEWD and the EEW methods developed by the Swiss seismological Service (ETHZ) for seismic monitoring services can be found at http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/en/research-and-teaching/fields_of_research/earthquake-early-warning/.

Compilation is straightforward:

ant

The eewd.jar Java archive package should be compiled in about four seconds in the directory dist/.

To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and use:

java -jar "dist/eewd.jar" -help

Back-up and adjust the eewd.properties file following the enclosed instructions, another example is provided in eewd.properties.ISNET.
