Claim 9:
10. The computing system of claim 1, the acts further comprising:
prior to identifying the proposed positions in the building as the positions within the building where the wireless beacons are to be positioned:
assigning a wireless beacon to a first proposed position;
based upon the computer-implemented floorplan representation, simulating first coverage of a first wireless signal emitted by the wireless beacon when the wireless beacon is assigned to the first proposed position within the building;
using the multi-objectives loss function to compute a first value for loss, wherein the multi-objectives loss function computes the first value for loss based upon the simulated first coverage of the wireless signal;
assigning the wireless beacon to a second proposed position, wherein the second proposed position is different from the first proposed position;
based upon the computer-implemented floorplan representation, simulating second coverage of a second wireless signal emitted by the wireless beacon when the wireless beacon is assigned to the second proposed position within the building;
using the multi-objectives loss function to compute a second value for loss, wherein the multi-objectives loss function computes the second value for loss based upon the simulated second coverage of the second wireless signal;
and
comparing the first value for loss with the second value for loss, wherein the first proposed position is identified as the position within the building where the first wireless beacon is to be positioned based upon the first value for loss being lower than the second value for loss.
