Cost-Constrained Sensor Reduction for Deployment AwareIoT-Based Multiclass Water Quality Monitoring
Abstract: Large-scale Internet of Things deployment for water quality monitoring systems is bounded by the capital and several other costs associated with the multi-dimensional sensor. While prior research demonstrates strong predictive performance using multi- parameter physicochemical sensing, limited attention has been given to explicit sensing cost constraints and deployment feasibility. This work formulates multiclass water quality classification as a cost-constrained learning problem in which sensing dimensionality is minimized subject to bounded …
