The Consortium

The EMDS Consortium is comprised of four entities:

US Forest Service
InfoHarvest
Rules of Thumb
The Redlands Institute (University of Redlands)

EMDS integrates the logic engine of NetWeaver (Rules of Thumb, Inc.) to perform landscape evaluations, and the decision modeling engine of Criterium DecisionPlus (InfoHarvest, Inc.) for evaluating management priorities. EMDS was originally developed by the United States Forest Service, but is currently being maintained by the Redlands Institute of the University of Redlands.
