Abstract

A method and a determining device for determining a set of locations for a number of devices are disclosed. For each distance measure of multiple distance measures, the determining device generates a respective pair of clusters. The determining device determines information metrics. The determining device performs first actions. While a difference between a respective information metric and a further respective information metric is greater than a threshold, the determining device performs second actions, comprising replacing said replaceable pair with said weighted pair, replacing the respective information metric for said replaceable pair with said further respective information metric for said weighted pair, and performing said first actions. The determining device selects the set of locations based on the weighted pair of clusters. A corresponding computer program is also disclosed.
