Using PROLOG knowledge bases and inference engines, NED-2 evaluates forest inventories to determine the degree to which they satisfy a set of predefined goals. By integrating third-party simulation and visualization packages, NED-2 allows the user to plan, predict, and assess forest treatment scenarios. DiSC'03 © 2003 Association for Computing Machinery
