Claim Text:
1. An iterative method, implemented by a computer, for optimizing the design of a system for monitoring a geographical zone comprising a plurality of sensors of different types and characteristics represented by a vector S comprising the type and the characteristics of a sensor and its position in said zone, said system exhibiting a plurality of absolute technical constraints that must be respected by the plurality of sensors of said system, said method comprising the following steps implemented by the computer comprising at least a processor and a memory: initializing the vector S to a solution S perturbing the sensors making up the solution S evaluating the cost of said solution s selecting the new current solution S storing, at each iteration, the best solution S a test step for stopping or continuing the iterations of said method, and when the stopping test is positive, a final step of producing the optimal solution S
