Mathematical Model of Forest Fire and Its Relationship with Simulations and Serious Games (SSG)

Abstract

Forest fires are readily available, but data is not. We present our abstract mathematical model of a forest fire in Bulgaria, without any real-world data. Our main thesis is that it looks realistic. Our calibration techniques are limited to integer values, with a hint of real numbers. Our visualization technique is fixed function pipeline OpenGL implementation, but it does the job. Our programmer staff is limited to two people, both experts in their fields, that managed to make two distinct software products, that have as a base the same solid mathematical algorithm.
