New Method for Sensor Network Design and Upgrade for Optimal Process Monitoring

Previous methods on nonlinear sensor network design minimize cost subject to a variety of constraints linked to the network performance: precision, residual precision, error detectability and resilience. In recent work, the use of accuracy as an attribute of a network that can replace precision, error detectability and resilience more effectively has been considered. This paper proposes a sensor network design methodology based on accuracy thresholds.
