          Abstract

          Earthquakes are natural disasters regularly affecting Mexico. It is very important that all information about them is quickly obtained to speed up attention being provided for the affected population and, if possible, applying preventative action. Computer and specialised software are currently used for obtaining essential knowledge concerning seismic events. 22 software applications for seismic analysis have been examined in this study to define predominant characteristics, strengths and limitations, to determine the current status of this particular field and suggest lines for the advance for new developments or prototypes. This country's existing technological dependency is clearly shown (hardware and software). Academic cooperation between different branches of engineering should thus be encouraged for creating new domestic products.

          México es un país generalmente afectado por terremotos. Es muy importante que toda la información acerca de este tipo de desastres naturales sea obtenida rápidamente para acelerar la atención y si es posible implementar acciones preventivas. A través de programas computacionales especializados se reúnen datos esenciales sobre eventos sísmicos. En total, en este estudio se examinaron 22 aplicaciones de software para análisis sísmicos que permiten definir las características predominantes, sus fortalezas y limitaciones, al tiempo que se determina el estado actual del campo y se sugieren líneas de avance para nuevos desarrollos o prototipos. Además, se expone la dependencia del país en materia tecnológica (software y hardware). La cooperación académica entre diferentes ramas de la ingeniería podría entonces motivar la creación de nuevos productos domésticos.
