Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks had a rapid development in the last years. However, still there are unresolved issues such as an optimum way to deploy and redeploy sensors nodes. This article proposes some metrics for sensor deployment in order to accomplish maximum coverage. In addition several applications are analyzed and experimental results are presented.
