This document summarizes the mid-term review of Task 5.2 to develop a platform for near real-time control of forest operations. The task is on schedule and involves designing a module to integrate harvesting plan data with real-time data from an intelligent processing head to analyze harvested versus predicted timber and enable adjustments to storage and logistics. Key activities completed include defining the workflow and involved actors. Upcoming activities are agreeing the module architecture, developing the near real-time control platform, and testing it in a demonstration area.

10. Deliverable –Web Service
• Light weight Web Service -module to read and write data from FIS database
• Implemented with Java, easy to extend
• Standard REST interface with XML and JSON support
• Source code of this module is hosted on BitBucket Git repository
• Secured with Basic authentication and Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS)

11. Deliverable – Deployment
• FIS components are hosted on Jelastic
cloud platform (Platform as a Service)
• Platform is hosted in Helsinki, Finland
• Own independent environment for
SLOPE FIS
• Apache Tomcat, Java 8, and MySQL 5.7
• Jelastic works well on mission critical
and high availability cloud services
• Scales horizontally and vertically for
our performance needs
• Domain: slopefis.mhgsystems.com

12. Summary
• Overall, this task went very well.
• Communication with partners worked well, all needed feedback returned
on time
• The deliverable was finished on time
• Goals were reached correctly
• This prototype gives us very good base for SLOPE platform development
and integration work
• The prototype will be developed further during the project
• New interfaces
• Database extensions
• Deliverable report can be found from project’s Dropbox
• Web Service is published on https://slopefis.mhgsystems.com/slope-fis/
