Introduction: The SERENITY vision

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Security and Dependability for Ambient Intelligence

Part of the book series: Advances in Information Security ((ADIS,volume 45))

Abstract

In this chapter we present an overview of the SERENITY approach. We describe the SERENITY model of secure and dependable applications and show how it addresses the challenge of developing, integrating and dynamically maintaining security and dependability mechanisms in open, dynamic, distributed and heterogeneous computing systems and in particular Ambient Intelligence scenarios. The chapter describes the basic concepts used in the approach and introduces the different processes supported by SERENITY, along with the tools provided.
