Multi-objective Finite-Domain Constraint-Based Forest Management
Eloy, Eduardo; Bushenkov, Vladimir; Abreu, SalvadorThis paper describes an implementation of a Constraint Programming approach to the problem of multi-criteria forest management optimization. The goal is to decide when to harvest each forest unit while striving to optimize several criteria under spatial restrictions. With a large number of management units, the optimization problem becomes computationally intractable. We propose an approach for deriving a set o...
Constraint Modeling for Forest Management
Eloy, Eduardo; Bushenkov, Vladimir; Abreu, SalvadorForestmanagement is an activity of prime economic and ecological impor2 tance. Managed forest areas can span very large regions and their proper manage3 ment is paramount to an effective development, in terms both of economic and natural 4 resources planning. Amanaged activity consists of individual andmutually indepen5 dent policy choices which apply to distinct patches of land—named stands—which, 6 as a whole...
