Description
Summary:In this article, the authors discuss modeling and simulation of forest fire spread and suppression using the discrete event system specification (DEVS) cell space approach in DEVSJAVA. The event-based modeling approach enables efficient simulation of cell space and allows one to obtain timely simulation-based predictions of forest fire spread and suppression in uniform and nonuniform environmental conditions. This model represents an advance toward developing a real-time decision support simulation system for predicting forest fire spread and the effects of water-based suppression attempts.
