Goals of the FireDB project

• To develop effective visualizations of fire simulations. Target audiences are researchers in fire modeling and fire suppression personnel.
  
• To populate a database with results from hundreds and thousands of fire simulations for a particular structure (room, building) including visualizations of a simulation, sensor activation information and spatial distance between sensors.
  
• To investigate connecting the database of simulated fires to the sensors in the building and provide visual depictions of predicted futures during actual fires (based on retrieving the simulations, which best match, the fire occurring).
  
• To develop efficient methods for retrieving similar simulations from the database, using a variety of matching and query optimization strategies.
