  This paper presents results on the framization of some knot algebras, defined
by the authors. We explain the motivations of the concept of framization,
coming from the Yokonuma--Hecke algebras, as well as recent results on the
framization of the Temperley--Lieb algebra. Finally, we propose framizations
for other knot algebras such as the BMW algebra, the $B$--type related Hecke
algebras and the singular Hecke algebra.
