This series of workshops focuses on developing international guidelines and standards for (1) archiving and disseminating and (2) validating simulated earthquake ground-motion data. These workshops are open to anyone interested in these topics. Workshop #2 will be a mixture of presentations and directed discussions to:

· Review the state of the art in validation of simulated motions for engineering applications.

· Summarize lessons learned during past validation efforts.

· Discuss experiences from different regions throughout the world.

· Discuss how to build on existing validation efforts, develop international guidelines for validating simulated motions for engineering applications, and convey validation status of datasets using appropriate metadata.
