A distributed spatial architecture for bush fire simulation

This paper describes a spatial systems architecture allowing clients to mod ify parameters and run their own bush fire simulations via map data provide d by a Web server. The simulations conform to the model of bush fire behavi ours as well as operational requirements. A wavelet model and fire simulati on over a distributed network are considered in this paper and we demonstra te how the architecture is general enough to accomodate other spatial simul ations for emergency management using the Web.
