Abstract
In this poster, we present the group effort devoted to the problem of computing how many actuators/sensors are needed and where should be placed in the plant to obtain some desired property. More precisely, given a system governed by a dynamical linear system, we aim to obtain the placement that meets a pre-specified budget or energy performance. In fact, we showed that those problem are (in general) difficult to solve, i.e., they are NP-hard, but we argue that alternative solutions, schemes and insights are possible by resorting to algorithms that have polynomial-time complexity. In particular, these schemes can be used in smart buildings; more precisely, to determine minimum sensing in a building towards efficient temperature control by an air handling unit that responses to the collected measurements. In the next months, the working plan passes by understanding the impact of the actuation/sensing schemes proposed when closed-loop is considered.
