Abstract: Visibility of relevance of detailed configurations is improved while deterioration of the visibility of a general configuration between nodes is suppressed. A node coordinate calculation process calculates, upon calculation of deployment coordinates of each node, a degree of importance of an infrastructure resource and a degree of importance of an application, and weights the distance between the application node and the infrastructure node with the reciprocal of the degree of importance of the infrastructure node. Then, the node coordinate calculation process determines deployment of the application node such that the application node is deployed in the proximity of a comparatively important infrastructure node, and determines deployment of the application node on the basis of the degrees of importance of the applications such that a comparatively important application is deployed closely to the infrastructure node.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave from a transmitter (100) is emitted toward the outside of a first angular range (AR). A receiver (200) cannot detect an electromagnetic wave reflected at a position somewhat close to a sensor device (10), specifically, an electromagnetic wave reflected at a position apart from the sensor device (10) by less than a distance R1. Specifically, when the electromagnetic wave is reflected at the position apart from the sensor device (10) by less than the distance R1, the electromagnetic wave reaches the sensor device (10) before the first angular range (AR) reaches a Y axis. Consequently, the electromagnetic wave reflected at the position somewhat close to the sensor device (10) is not detected by the receiver (200).

The measurement unit (202) is controlled by a measurement unit control device (203) including a control unit (204). The control unit (204) sets a scanning range of the measurement unit (202) using information on a position that is a predetermined distance ahead. Specifically, the control unit (204) determines a position that is a predetermined distance ahead of the current position of the mobile body (240), on a predicted course of the mobile body (240). Further, the control unit (204) uses information on the position that is a predetermined distance ahead to set the scanning range of the measurement unit (202).
