Abstract:
The cluster forestry and wood’s major challenges are its structural complexity and heterogeneity, its many stakeholders, and its decentralized processes. The aim of the ClusterWIS approach is to overcome these challenges. Its core idea is the development of a novel forest information system based on a decentralized infrastructure integrating new planning and consulting methods and interconnecting existing decentralized work processes. It provides end-to-end encrypted communication to run the various processes and to supply them with data while using international standards throughout the system and keeping participation requirements low. The paper at hand gives details on the ClusterWIS communication infrastructure, its apps and services, and the reference applications as well as their realization in a comprehensive demonstrator.
