Sistema de apoyo a las decisiones en el ámbito de la evaluación de tierras“ForAndesT v2.0”

Abstract

Software tools fulfilling specific user requirementsare a very good alternative to commercials or free applications, usually the later include functions that perhaps will never be used although those can require a high amount of computational resources. Free and open tools to build software use standards that make easy to develop applications required by users. All this can be made thanks to the available literature.

Currently, both the GeographicalInformation Systems and theDecisions Support Systems models, are important tools for land evaluation. With these systems it is feasible to store, modify, analyze and deploy geographic information in the field of natural resources management.

This project is intended to analyze, design and implementa web version of the ForAndesT system, taking the desktop versionas the starting point. The proposed work will contribute to the development of the first decision support systemavailable in the web to support the solution of land evaluation problems. In this sense the system will be the pioneer in this area. The objective is to obtaina 100% free software tool of similar features to the desktop version.In addition, it was needed to include some processes to improve the performance of the web version.
