Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a special kind of mo- bile ad hoc network with particular characteristics, like for example, the severe computational and energy resources restrictions presented by their elements. It is interesting to use management services and functions in this kind of network with the goal of promoting resource productivity and quality of the provided services .A ne valuation performed in order to verify the applicability of management protocols developed for tradi- tional networks in WSNs has shown that they are not suitable, given the specific features of these networks. In this work, we aim to define a WSN management protocol adherent to the particularities of this kind of net- work, allowing them to be managed without resources overconsumption.
