Application and Development of Artificial Intelligence Technology for the Data Management and Analysis in Forestry

Management of Chinese forests is becoming increasingly complex, involving a variety of data sets, software, and computing environments. To help with this task, we develop a system of experts for intelligent data management for forest and environmental monitoring. Once system has formed a solution to a problem, it uses the processing agents to execute each step in the solution. The heart of our system is a knowledge-based system called Palermo (Planning and Learning for Resource Management and Organization). In this article we´ll show how to integrate different problem-solving methods to automatically answer queries, thereby making some of the complexity of forest management.
