Design and
implementation of a state-of-the-art secure and scalable
reprogramming protocol for a network of Sun
Small Programmable Object Technology devices (SunSPOTs). The
protocol can autonomously propagate new code image throughout the
network of SunSPOTs based on local interactions with neighboring
SunSPOTs in a secure, scalable and reliable manner.
