Sensor Assignment In Virtual Environments Using Constraint Programming

  • Conference paper
Book cover Applications and Innovations in Intelligent Systems XV (SGAI 2007)

Abstract

This paper describes a method for assignment and deployment of sensors in a virtual environment using constraint programming. We extend an existing model (multiple knapsack problem) to implement this assignment and placement, according to a given set of requirements (modelled as a utility extension).
