In this paper, we attack the sensor network deployment problem. We define the deployment problem as the problem of deciding how many sensor nodes should be deployed in the sensor field and the number of deployment phases. We model WSN availability and the total cost as functions of the deployment strategy and use our modeling in seeking an optimal deployment strategy that meets user-defined availability requirement with minimum total cost.
