Information system for analyzing negative impacts on forests of the border regions

Abstract

Abstract The article describes the architecture and composition of a software package for the creation of an information system (IS) to be used in the state of natural objects analysis, in particular, forests of the border region of Russia-South-East Finland. Information system development is carried out within the InnoForestView Project of the ENI CBC Program. The project addresses the consequences of three types of negative impacts: forest fires, diseases and insects, and the proximity of roads. It is shown that the use of a service-oriented architecture with the implementation of individual components of IS in the form of web services, as well as the proposed technologies for integrating heterogeneous information resources, including Earth remote sensing data, ensures the fulfillment of the basic requirements for IS, including the possibility of multi-temporal analysis, maximum automation of tasks to be solved, and user friendliness.
