• Abstract: The forests are significant assets for every country. When it gets destroyed, it may negatively impact the environment, and forest fire is one of the primary causes. Fire weather indices are widely used to measure fire danger and are used to issue bushfire warnings. It can also be used to predict the demand for emergency management resources. Sensor networks have grown in popularity in data collection and processing capabilities for a variety of applications in industries such as medical, environmental monitoring, home automation etc. Semantic sensor networks can collect various climatic circumstances like wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity. However, estimating fire weather indices is challenging due to the various issues involved in processing the data streams generated by the sensors. Hence, the importance of forest fire detection has increased day by day. The underlying Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontologies are built to allow developers to create rules for calculating fire weather indices and also the convert dataset into Resource Description Framework (RDF). This research describes the various steps involved in developing rules for calculating fire weather indices. Besides, this work presents a Web-based mapping interface to help users visualize the changes in fire weather indices over time. With the help of the inference rule, it designed a decision support system using the SSN ontology and query on it through SPARQL. The proposed fire management system acts according to the situation, supports reasoning and the general semantics of the open-world followed by all the ontologies

  It is challenging to place sensors in a way that maximises the informativeness of their measurements, particularly in remote regions like Antarctica. Probabilistic machine learning models can suggest informative sensor placements by finding sites that maximally reduce prediction uncertainty. This paper proposes using a convolutional Gaussian neural process (ConvGNP) to address these issues.

• Wildfire risk forecast: An optimizable fire danger index [0.0]
  Wildfire events have caused severe losses in many places around the world and are expected to increase with climate change. Fire risk indices use weather forcing to make advanced predictions of the risk of fire. Predictions of fire risk indices can be used to allocate resources in places with high risk. We propose a novel implementation of one index (NFDRS IC) as a differentiable function in which one can optimize its internal parameters via gradient descent.
