Abstract:
Refine Starfire analysis logic and process through incorporation of a second season of analysis
and feedback from parks. Adjust code, algorithms and reports as required. Finalize analysis
request and delivery system including website and interactive maps.
From lessons learned through the Starfire development process, draft a vision document with
multiple scenarios to be applied to various wildand fire programs, that could guide the
Operation and Maintenance of the analysis into the future. Include discussions of the technical
infrastructure and business process needed for the long term support of the analysis project and
delivery of analysis products.
