Abstract
A novel procedure to find costβoptimal sensor networks is proposed. Cost is minimized subject to qualifying constraints that are related to certain requirements of data reconciliation. One basic qualifying constraint is a desired level of precision of reconciled values for a selected set of variables. Since precision requirements lead to multiple solutions, other qualifying constraints are proposed. These constraints are availability, resilience, and error detectability. Definitions for these terms are given and their impact on the results is presented.

## A new concept of reliability of estimation of variables is introduced which relates to the estimability of variables in the presence of sensor failures. Based on this concept, a method for optimal location of sensors in apureflowprocess is developed. A graph-theoretic algorithm, SENNET, develop
