An ontological model based on the ontology driven architecture paradigm for a middleware in the management of nano-devices in a smart environment

Abstract

In this paper is proposed an ontology framework for an autonomic reflective middleware for the management of nanodevices, which is based on the ontology-driven architecture paradigm. In this paper are presented the different levels of the ontology driven architecture model. At the first level, the computation independent model level defines the different ontologies of the nanotechnology domain, like a taxonomy of nanodevices, among others. The second level is the platform independent model level, where are defined the different ontologies for the deployment of the platform, which are the autonomic computation for the autonomous behavior of the middleware, data analytics that describes the analysis process of nanodata, and service-oriented architecture because the autonomic reflective middleware is defined as a multi-agent system oriented by services.
