We give an overview of recent work on the rule-based modeling of nano devices. In particular, our experience in the modeling of a nanoscale elevator suggested us to enhance rule-based modeling with complex functional rates that can be used to express rates that depend on the current state of the entire complexes in which the reacting molecules reside.

Mots clés: Rule-based modeling; nano devices; functional rates
