DESCRIPTION:The problem of sensor location for monitoring network with sta
 tionary nodes used for estimating unknown parameters of distributed-parame
 ter system is addressed. In particular\, the situation is considered\, whe
 n the system parameters at the experimentation stage may randomly change a
 ccording to the slight fluctuations of experimental conditions or differen
 ces in individual properties of observed distributed systems. A proper the
 oretical formulation of the sensor scheduling problem is provided together
  with a characterization of the optimal solutions. The theory is applicabl
 e to those practical situations in which a distributed system is sensitive
  to sampling or gives a different response at each run of the experiment. 
 In the presented approach\, some results from experimental design theory f
 or dynamic systems are extended for the purpose of configuring a sensor gr
 id in order to obtain practical and numerically tractable representation o
 f optimum designs for estimation of the mean values of the parameters. A s
 uitable computational scheme is illustrated by numerical example on a sens
 or scheduling problem for a two-dimensional example of dynamical distribut
 ed process representing the performance of magnetic brake.\n
