Abstract

Sensor Networks need the ability to be dynamically programmed efficiently. Several frameworks have been developed for this purpose largely falling into one of three classes: i) user-guided code updates, ii) database model, and iii) agent-based model. Even though the agent-based model is being touted to bring increased efficiency in terms of energy consumed, its advantage has not been clearly articulated by the relevant sensor network literature. We identify a suitable application to showcase the advantages of autonomously mobile code and analyze the generic solutions offered by the three different classes of frameworks to show that indeed an agent-based approach can bring considerable energy savings for some application scenarios.
