As a part of the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) earthquake early warning (EEW) algorithm
development, we have developed the CISN EEW web site to collect the results of multiple EEW algorithms and to
display the algorithm results in a comparative manner. The CISN web site provides a time-based query capability
which allows users to specify a time-window of interest. The CISN EEW web site can then produce a time-based
display which shows all available algorithm results for the specified time window. These time-based plots
provide a means of comparing algorithm performance and results. The CISN EEW web site developers have
designed an XML-based data-exchange format which represents a common data format in which all the CISN
EEW algorithm developers can format their results, and a data transfer mechanism for moving the data from the
real-time network centers to non-real-time web site hosts. Incoming EEW data sets are automatically discovered
by the web site processing system and entered into a data-management database at which time the data are
available for discovery and display through the web site's query tools. The CISN web site is
one part of a larger program of algorithm evaluation currently underway by CISN EEW algorithm development
groups. The CISN EEW program of algorithm evaluation includes definition of common EEW algorithm data
exchange formats, the establishment of a collection point for EEW algorithm results, and the development of web-
based tools for comparing these results. Further techniques for comparing and evaluating the performance of
EEW algorithms are under development by the group and will be implemented on the web site when available.
