DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
34
ESyS-Particle has been developed in-house within the Earth Systems Science Computational Centre (ESSCC) at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia since 1994. The software was originally called the Lattice Solid Model and later LSMEarth before the Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator (ACcESS) Major National Research Facility commenced funding software development in 2002. From 2002-2007, ACcESS MNRF funding resulted in rapid development of ESyS-Particle into commercial-grade DEM software, released freely under the Open Software License v3.0 (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/osl-3.0.php). ESyS-Particle software development continues to be funded under the Australian Government AuScope National Collaborative Infrastructure Strategy. One of the key developers, Steffen Abe, is now based at RWTH Aachen, Germany and continues to actively contribute towards ESyS-Particle development.
