Abstract:
This abstract describes the development of a wildfire forecasting plugin using Capaware. Capaware is designed as an easy to use open source framework to develop 3D graphics applications over large geographic areas offering high performance 3D visualization and powerful interaction tools for the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) community. Some other samples addressing this problem can be found in [Sherman et al. 2007] and [Thon et al. 2007].
