Abstract
In this paper, we present an extension of a Middleware for Smart Educational Environments based in agents, using the paradigm of Cloud Computing. In that sense, we detail the Middleware components, which enable the process of management of the Cloud Computing. We also present the utilization of this Middleware to provide services on the cloud about task of Learning Analytics that allow processing of data of students and learning environments, to understand and optimize the learning processes.
