In today's telecommunication networks it is well known that unexpected failures in the physical links may cause significant loss or interruption of services. It is desirable if the deterioration of links can be recognized early and maintenance is carried out before failure occurs. Asynchronous trans

β¦ Synopsis
A new method is presented to determine the optimum number and location of monitoring stations in an air pollution network. The selection of the monitoring stations is based on the spatial representativity of the sites. In particular, the spatial coecient of the correlation between the pollutant concentrations in dierent receptors is considered with regard to dierent meteorological scenarios. The methodology is applied in the province of Venice for two dierent pollutants: SO 2 and NO x .
