Optimization for an Uncertainty Reduction Method Applied to Forest Fires Spread Prediction

Forest fires prediction represents a great computational and mathematical challenge. The complexity lies both in the definition of mathematical models for describing the physical phenomenon and in the impossibility of measuring in real time all the parameters that determine the fire behaviour. ESSI...
