[Tinyos-help] dynamic addressing and nodes entering leaving

Hi all, Can someone tell me how does tinyos deals with addressing each node. If I'm not mistaken you give a TOS_ID when programming the mote, but is this usable for many motes? Is there a dynamic addressing? In compile or runtime? Can someone also tell me how tinyos deals with nodes entering or
