Abstract :
The wood production is an activity of fundamental importance for Brazilian economy. Studies show that the illegality in wood production is around 80% of the total production. This illegal wood becomes legalized in its supply chain due to the failures in controlling and monitoring systems. This paper analyzes some computational problems existing in managing and monitoring the production process in Amazon Forest and identifies new requirements to create a traceability system more efficient and appropriate to the region´s characteristics.
