In this paper, we introduce a new approach for wireless sensor networks management which is an improved version of previously proposed methods, using the concept of Multi-Agent Systems. From a software point of view, wireless sensor networks need to be managed in many different ways; e.g. power consumption in each sensor, efficient data routing, sensing and data sending interval, etc. Our approach gives the network a more structured model, and manages the former issues using multi-agent system concepts. In our model, we propose a new method for sensor power management which we call Neighbors Power Comparison (NPC). We defined 4 different power thresholds, and when the sensor's power meets each one of these thresholds a power reduction algorithm will try to reduce the amount of energy used by sensor. We also cover the whole life-time process of a sensor network using our model.
