Abstract :
Wildfire monitoring and mitigation have been worldwide challenges in disaster reduction for quite a while. However as time goes, more and more acres of virgin forests continue being consumed. A problem like a wildfire can be analyzed from a System of Systems (SoS) point of view. The reason for this is because of the nature of all the involved stakeholders. In this work we discuss the benefits of developing a collaborative collection of systems. Approach that can quickly and effectively locate and track the spread of wildfires. To finish comparing it to monolithic approaches that have been vastly used until now. Agent based modelling (ABM) is used to show the different interaction of each of the different systems including different system network configuration. Our consideration in SoS problem is to find an effective configuration network communication between agents. To discover robustness with limited number of existing agents is also one of the concerns to improve.
