Abstrakt: The aim of this paper is to present a dimensioning tool for fuelbreaks. It focuses on the overall approach and specifically mapping a physical model to a DEVS model, mapping a DEVS model to a DEVS service, and the client that communicates with the server. In order to assist the firefighters, we focus on a Web Service based on different software tools that can be used by firefighters to forecast fuelbreak safety zone sizes. This Web Service uses a simulation framework based on DEVS formalism, a theoretical fire spreading model developed at the University of Corsica and to display the results on a Google Map SDK. The SDK is embedded in a mobile application for touchscreen tablet. The application sends a request to our DEVS Web Service, with its geolocation, and in response receives data sets that allow to draw the safety distance. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
