SIADEX: An interactive knowledge-based planner for decision support in forest fire fighting

SIADEX is a complex framework that integrates several AI techniques able to design fighting plans against forest fires. It is based on four main components, a web server, that centralizes all the flow of information between the system and the user, the ontology server, that is the cornerstone of the architecture as the basis for knowledge sharing and exchange between all the components, and the planning and monitoring servers that are offered as intelligent services through the web server. This perspective also allow to view SIADEX as a collaborative working environment where it provides two basic functionalities: the intelligent services offered to the user (the ontology, planning and monitoring modules) and a middleware level that interfaces these back-end services to the front-end software of the user (a web browser) achieving several valuable goals like transparent access of the user to a distributed architecture, an ubiquitous access to the services that allow the mobility of the ...
