Engineering of holonic multi agent intelligent forest fire monitoring system.

In this paper we describe holonic multi agent architecture of iForestFire (Intelligent Forest Fire Monitoring System) through phases and activities of the holonic software engineering process. iForestFire is a web-based information system used in all aspects of forest fire management. Its central part is an artificial perception system, observer network, whose aim is early detection of forest fires. Although the agents that the system consists of are inseparably connected, they can be clustered in several independent systems that can be used separately. Independent holons are built from agents that are part of the observer network, as well as other agents with auxiliary functionalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
