• Abstract: In this article, we propose an approach to leak localisation in a complex water delivery grid with the use of data from physical simulation (e.g. EPANET software). This task is usually achieved by a network of multiple water pressure sensors and analysis of the so-called sensitivity matrix of pressure differences between the network's simulated data and actual data of the network affected by the leak. However, most algorithms using this approach require a significant number of pressure sensors -- a condition that is not easy to fulfil in the case of many less equipped networks. Therefore, we answer the question of whether leak localisation is possible by utilising very few sensors but having the ability to relocate one of them. Our algorithm is based on physical simulations (EPANET software) and an iterative scheme for mobile sensor relocation. The experiments show that the proposed system can equalise the low number of sensors with adjustments made for their positioning, giving a very good approximation of leak's position both in simulated cases and real-life example taken from BattLeDIM competition L-Town data.

  This paper investigates the sensor placement problem for networks. We first formalize the problem under a flow conservation assumption and show that it is NP-hard to place a fixed set of sensors optimally. Next, we propose an efficient and adaptive greedy for sensor placement that scales to large networks.

  It is challenging to place sensors in a way that maximises the informativeness of their measurements, particularly in remote regions like Antarctica. Probabilistic machine learning models can suggest informative sensor placements by finding sites that maximally reduce prediction uncertainty. This paper proposes using a convolutional Gaussian neural process (ConvGNP) to address these issues.
