This paper describes ARMNANO, which is a reflective middleware for the nanodevices management in smart environments. ARMNANO defines a set of mechanisms and services to deploy nanosensors and nanoactuators functionalities in a smart environment. The middleware is organized in layers, where each one is responsible for specific tasks. The base level comprises the nanodevices and the microgateway unit, meanwhile the upper layers contain the different services provided by the platform. Some of the layers are the Communication Management Layer, which is responsible for the nanocommunication, providing thespecific communication protocols for each context; the Ontological Emergence Level, which is in charge of the management of the knowledge; or the Data Analysis Smart System, which is responsible for generating knowledge from the data acquired from the nanodevices, using the concept of “Autonomic Cycle of Data Analysis Tasks”. Thus, nanodevices can act diagnosing in situ and transmitting through the nanoinfrastructure, to autonomously adapt the context. In this work, we detail the components ofARMNANO middleware, as well as there are 2 case studies in different contexts.
