AQMS
AQMS = ANSS QUAKE MONITORING SYSTEM
AQMS is the real-time and post-processing wrapper around the Earthworm automated earthquake detection system used by the majority of Regional Seismic Networks in the United States and the volcano observatories. AQMS is written in C++ and Java and uses an Oracle database for persisting data. AQMS provides archiving and processing of earthquakes from Earthworm by analysts, alarming of automated and manually reviewed events, a web interface, and a Java-based analyst tool, Jiggle.
Experience
ISTI is one of the original authors of this Open Source earthquake processing system and the only commercial supplier of installation and support services.

- Caltech
- USGS Menlo Park
- UC Berkeley
- PNSN @ University of Washington
- Utah Seismic Network @ University of Utah
- CERI @ University of Memphis
- LCSN @ Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia

Support
ISTI plans to support the AQMS software indefinitely for our current users and new customers as they join the group. We are proactively working to improve the AQMS system to include more features and better database support. We also provide commercial support for Earthworm configuration as part of an AQMS installation.
AQMS server software is currently supported on Solaris Intel, Solaris SPARC, and Linux. Jiggle, being Java, can run on any platform and is most often used on Windows and Mac OS X.
