Advances in technology call for a parallel evolution in the software. New techniques are needed to support this dynamism, to track and guide its evolution process. This applies especially in the field of embedded systems, and certainly in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where hardware platforms and software environments change very quickly. Commonly, operating systems play a key role in the development process of any application. The most used operating system in WSNs is TinyOS, currently at its TinyOS 2.1.2 version. The evolution from TinyOS 1.x and TinyOS 2.x made the applications developed on TinyOS 1.x obsolete. In other words, these applications are not compatible out-of-the-box with TinyOS 2.x and require a porting action. In this paper, we discuss on the porting of embedded system (i.e., Wireless Sensor Networks) applications in response to operating systems’ evolution. In particular, using a model-based approach, we report the porting we did of Agilla, a Mobile-Agent Middleware (MAMW) for WSNs, on TinyOS 2.x, which we refer to as Agilla 2. We also provide a comparative analysis about the characteristics of Agilla 2 versus Agilla. The proposed Agilla 2 is compatible with TinyOS 2.x, has full capabilities and provides new features, as shown by the maintainability and performance measurement presented in this paper. An additional valuable result is the architectural modeling of Agilla and Agilla 2, missing before, which extends its documentation and improves its maintainability.

Due to the node failures incurred by intrusion threat, a wireless sensor networks will initiate topology re-generation, which is based on correct availability evaluation of current intrusion-tolerant topology. The paper proposes an availability evaluation model based on semi-Markov process (SMP) to estimate topology availability of the intrusion-tolerant topology concerning the effects from intrusion behaviors. In view of some limitations of node computation ability and storage ability, this model reduces the complexities resulting from modeling the different intrusion threats and is set up on the uniform intruding results to simplify the model design. Using the DTMC model embedded in SMP topology availability is computed and finally we analyze the sensitivity to parameters in the model.

The current detection schemes of malicious nodes mainly focus on how to detect and locate malicious nodes in a single path; however, for the reliability of data transmission, many sensor data are transmitted by multipath in wireless sensor networks. In order to detect and locate malicious nodes in multiple paths, in this paper, we present a homomorphic fingerprinting-based detection and location of malicious nodes (HFDLMN) scheme in wireless sensor networks. In the HFDLMN scheme, using homomorphic fingerprint and coding technology, the original data is divided into n packets and sent to the base station along n paths, respectively; the base station determines whether there are malicious nodes in each path by verifying the validity of the packets; if there are malicious nodes in one or more paths, the location algorithm of the malicious node is implemented to locate the specific malicious nodes in the path; if all the packets are valid, the original data is recovered. The HFDLMN scheme does not need any complex evaluation model to evaluate and calculate the trust value of the node, nor any monitoring nodes. Theoretical analysis results show that the HFDLMN scheme is secure and effective. The simulation results demonstrate promising outcomes with respect to key parameters such as the detection probability of the malicious path and the locating probability of the malicious node.
