Abstract
Wireless sensor networks need an efficient and reliable reprogramming service to facilitate management and maintenance tasks. In this article we first outline a framework to examine different functions in reprogramming, followed by an analysis of reprogramming challenges. We then provide a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art reprogramming systems, and discuss different approaches to address these challenges. Finally we explore performance, protocol behavior, and the impact of several design factors.
