Overview of MAGIS: A multi-resource analysis and geographic information system. Forest Service research note

MAGIS is computer software for planning land management and transportation-related activities on a geographic and temporal basis in the presence of multiple and sometimes conflicting objectives. The focus is on tactical planning, and MAGIS can be operated in both optimization or simulation modes. MAGIS is integrated with a commercial mathematical programming package, GIS software for data input and display of results, and an optional tree growth simulator. It contains interactive, mouse-driven screens and operates in the Windows environment on a 486 or higher personal computer.
