The objective of this project is to design and develop an Intelligent Event Identification System, or ISEIS, which will be a prototype for routine event identification of small explosions and earthquakes and to serve as a tool for discrimination research. The first part of this study gives an overview of the system design and the results of a preliminary evaluation of the system on events in Scandinavia and the Soviet Union. The system was designed to be highly modular to allow the easy incorporation of new discriminants and/or discrimination processes. Because the main objective of the system is the identification of small events, most of the initial ISEIS prototype discriminants utilize regional seismic data recorded by the regional arrays, NORESS and ARCESS. However, ISEIS can easily process other regional array data (e.g., from GERESS and FINESA), as well as data from three-component single stations, as more of this data becomes available. The second part of this study is entitled Intelligent Event Identification System: User's Manual, and gives a detailed description of all the processing interfaces of ISEIS. The third part of this study is entitled Intelligent Event Identification System: Software Maintenance Manual, which describes the ISEIS software from the programmer's perspective and provides information for maintenance and modification of the software modules in the system.
