We outline here a simple yet efficient method for finding optimizedconfigurations of the elements of radio-astronomical interferometers with fixedpad locations. The method can be successfully applied, as we demonstrate, todefine new configurations when changes to the array take place. This mayinclude the addition of new pads or new antennas, or the loss of pads orantennas. Our method is based on identifying which placement of elementsprovides the most appropriate uv plane sampling for astronomical imaging.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ
