Wireless sensor networks are sensing, computing, and communication infrastructures that allow us to sense events in the harsh environment. The networks consist of many deployed sensor nodes. Each sensor node senses and transmits the sensed data to the administrator or base station of the networks. The sensor nodes are generally remotely-deployed, and therefore, software update must be done at run-time via communication channel. The software code update protocol should be energy-efficient to maximize lifetime of the sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a MCUP, which is a multi-level code update protocol for resource-constrained sensor nodes. MCUP enables energy-efficient code update by supporting multi-level code management. Our simulation results show that MCUP can reduce energy consumption compared with the existing one-level code update schemes.

In this paper we have developed an image security system based on Internet Web in order to overcome the problem of existing systems that use the dedicated network. The developed system resolves the safety problem of the centralized control model by adapting the distributed control model based on Web, and has the functions of remote control and automatic monitoring for grouped multiple sites on remote Web browser. And the system can operate various computers or operating system because it' s operating software was designed by the concepts of Java Virtual Machine and Virtual Instrument. Also, our system has not need of additional cost for network construction by using Internet and can greatly improve the managemental efficiency of system because the maintenance and publishing of software updates can be performed through Web Server.
