Abstract :
This paper surveys reconfiguration approaches in Wireless Sensor Network applications. It relays the challenges associated with the different approaches explored as well as prevailing efforts currently in use at addressing them. It also suggests a model that employs context information in deciding the most appropriate reconfiguration approach to employ via the use of fuzzy logic. The idea is to reduce operational demands (overheads) placed on the entire network during software updates.
