Abstract
The problem of assigning and optimizing resources is a constant in the daily fight against forest fires in the Mediterranean Area and is due to the frequency and simultaneity of the fires together with the limited resources available. Thus, it seems necessary to predict the evolution of the forest fire occurrence-danger rate for a given area in the short and medium term. In order to satisfy this real prediction need, it is presented INCEND-IA: A KBS for prediction and decision support in fighting against forest fires.
