Featured DOT Project:
Adaptive Management Portal/Collaboration with EBS and MST departments and US Forest Service:
Harvesting Information to Sustain our Forests
We are building a Web-based system to provide easy access to forest information for use by natural resource managers, scientists, and other interested parties in the Pacific Northwest. To that end, we are interviewing and studying the work processes of prospective users of the system including U.S. policymakers, land managers, researchers, and citizens. They use a diversity of information sources, which can include maps, geographic information system (GIS) datasets, scientific datasets, and documents. The envisioned system will provide access to the tangible products that represent the knowledge created by natural resource managers and scientists. The system will also house a rich knowledge base of terms and relationships for natural resource management that is useful in its own right.
Other DOT collaborative projects:
Forensix (4N6) project is a Large-scale Tamper-resistant Computer Forensic Systems/ Collaboration with SySL research center.
DOT, SySL and AdSyL faculty collaborate on the CORIE and Cormorant projects through Prof. Antonio Baptista in the EBS department.
