The CCP-SAS project was initiated through a jointly funded EPSRC/NSF (UK/US) grant as a cyberinfrastructure project addressing Grand Challenges in the Chemical Sciences (SI2-SSI) and bringing together participants from US and UK universities and X-ray and neutron scattering facilities. The project is currently focused on developing easy-to-use open-source modeling packages that permits users to generate physically accurate atomistic models, calculate scattering profiles and compare results to experimental scattering data sets in an integrated web-based software suite. This enables a broad range of scattering scientists to access often complicated simulation and scattering analysis methods seamlessly, thus providing a significant acceleration to the discovery process... The initial objectives of the project included provisioning a web-based GUI front-end with a high-performance back-end to increase the accessibility of advanced atomistic modeling of scattering data by novice users.
