Wildfires cause great losses and harms every year, some of which are often irreparable.
Among the different strategies and technologies available to mitigate the effects of fire,
wildfire behavior prediction may be a promising strategy. This approach allows for the
identification of areas at greatest risk of being burned, thereby permitting to make decisions
which in turn will help to reduce losses and damages. In this work we present an
Evolutionary-Statistical System with Island Model, a new approach of the uncertainty …
