RE: [ai-geostats] Optimization of monitoring networks

Title: Optimization of monitoring networks

I recently read a book (Backroom Boys by Francis Spufford, published by Faber) that described the history of mobile phone transmitter positioning.

Some references from this are:

Button J et al. 1996. Mobile network design and optimisation. British Telecom Technology Journal 14:29-46

G. W. Wiskin, R. G. Manton and J. H. Causebrook 1992. Masts, Antennas and Service Planning, Focal Press.

Dear list,

I am looking for references (and possibly software) on network optimization. The variable monitored has no importance and I am looking for references and topological algorithms.

A question I have is the following: given an area A with a particular shape (e.g. defined by country borders) and a number of stations N (e.g. for mobile phone emitters), how do I define the optimal locations for these stations?

Thanks for any hints.

Gregoire
