Abstract—Reconfigurable intelligent space (R+iSpace) is an intelligent environment proposed to solve the location restrictions of distributed intelligent networked devices (DINDs) installed on walls and ceilings. Such DINDs in R+iSpace are mounted on mobile modules (MoMo), and a MoMo can rearrange its own location. Through the R+iSpace structure, an application that uses such DINDs can accomplish service provision successfully and consistently by rearranging the DINDs to suitable locations. This paper proposes a method to determine suitable DIND locations according to a given environment. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation experiments.

Index Terms—intelligent space, the wall climbing robot, the best effort location of device, the reconfigurable system
