Abstract	Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) constitute an emerging and pervasive technology that is attracting increased interest for a wide range of applications. The increasing functionality of this kind of network makes it necessary to propose tools and methodologies to facilitate software development. This paper proposes a middleware called MWSAN to provide a set of high level services for sensor and actor networks. The middleware meets the component-oriented paradigm and developers can configure it depending on the actor and sensor resources. It takes into account issues such as the network configuration, the quality of service (QoS) and the coordination among actors. MWSAN is specified in UM-RTCOM, a component model oriented to real time systems adapted to WSANs that allows us to take into account real time requirements in the applications. Additionally, we present an implementation model based on RT Java for actors. In order to apply the proposed middleware we describe an example specified in UM-RTCOM and its RT Java implementation
