The Internet-of-Things is an open source architecture for enabling information sharing between globally connected devices, which existing system do not offer. However, the Internet-of-Things induces the single points of failure and long communication delay. Thus, the Sensible Things platform is proposed, which is a fully distributed system. So far, it has produced components to share sensor and actuator information on the Internet. In the past, manual work was problematic since physical access could be difficult on remote locations. There were also difficulties to detect if the devices were actually working properly. Therefore, the thesis mainly focuses on the functionality which is able to check status, update software automatically and restart the devices with new software. The thesis first analyzes the mechanism of the automatic updating and describes the methods for it. The automatic updates of demonstrator is implemented in My-Eclipse. Finally, this paper describes the evaluation of the automatic updating in Sensible Things platform.
