Forest Simulation and Optimization System
What is FSOS?
THE ADVANTAGES OF FSOS FSOS focuses on both “what we can take from the forest” and “what we can create in the forest”.
FSOS HPC Cloud Computing Platform
FSOS uses our HPC cloud computing technology “EasyCloud” to run on any
FSOS is like a game, it is simple, easy

scales because all periods are considered
FSOS is a Forest Simulation Optimization System model. FSOS uses artificial intelligence (Simulated Annealing) to generate forest management plans to transform forests to their desired states, maintain the desired states, balance and sustain profit and product flows.

Desired states are defined from the perspectives
target-oriented approaches.
of watershed condition, carbon storage, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, recreation, visual quality objective etc. Timber flows can be outputs of FSOS.
Trade-offs can be made between ecosystem objectives, areas and layers because all layers and zones are considered simultaneously. FSOS integrates regulation-based and
FSOS combines spatial and non-spatial in one model. Forest can be modified gradually, thus

flow and other values.
FSOS PRINCIPLES KISS = KEEP IT SIMPLE SMART You only need 5 easy steps to do a project.
STEP 1—Import polygons Load polygons and edit attributes
STEP 2—Tree dynamics
STEP 4—Layers and targets
Set tree species parameters
Layout layers, set harvest rules and management targets
STEP 3—Stand dynamics Create and edit stand growth curves
STEP 5—Reports Detail reports, scenario analysis and comparisons
