Forest Fires: Fire Management and the Power Law
2020Forest fires do not only destroy plants, animals, and structures, but also change the ecology of the habitat. While research of fire dynamics is a hot topic, there are many controversial issues in the field. Forest fires are commonly considered best examples for a scale-free, power-law distribution.

Forest fire management with Negoplan
1996The control of forest fires is a complex domain that requires a variety of knowledge and skills in decision making and planning under uncertainty. It poses a challenging problem for the design of simulation and support systems, and therefore acts as a good testbed for the application of intelligent system methodologies.

Managing Forest Fires with i-Protect Fire Simulation Module
2012 16th Panhellenic Conference on Informatics, 2012Emergency management is an essential capability in modern society. As disasters can happen at any time and can differ from each other considerably, it is necessary to develop a supple framework which can comply with each situation. This article discusses the fire simulation component of i-Protect.

A Decision Support System for forest fire management
Operational Research, 2005Forest fires are considered natural phenomena but the magnitude of the problem can be attributed to poor forest management and to the extreme weather conditions. Furthermore, the abolishment of traditional activities related to forests has sent away people from the forests that they used to protect them.

Valuing Weather Observation Systems For Forest Fire Management
IEEE Systems Journal, 2008Weather information is an integral part of modern fire management systems. In this paper, we investigate, by means of simulation studies, how improvements in the weather observation systems help to reduce burned area by targeting and monitoring places ripe fires are likely to occur.

Fire Ecology and Management of Southwestern Forests
2021Forests in the southwestern USA are well adapted to dry conditions. High lightning incidence, long human habitation, and frequently windy conditions make the Southwest stand out for a high pace of burning. Forests are structured by climatic gradients created by elevation and topography.
