Abstract
A wireless sensor node can request, responds to requests for, and maintain executable code (), including executable code for which the wireless sensor node is itself tasked with executing. Upon receiving (), however, a request for executable code that the wireless sensor node is not itself tasked with executing, one determines () whether to forward that request. This determination can be based upon any of a variety of decision-making criteria as may pertain to a given application setting (such as whether a different wireless sensor node is, in fact, already responding to this request for executable code, information regarding a number of hops to a known point of executable code injection as may be required to facilitate transport of the executable code from that source to a requesting wireless sensor node, and whether the wireless sensor node itself has locally cached the requested executable code).
