Realising the Potential of Serenity in Emerging AmI Ecosystems: Implications and Challenges

Abstract

In this chapter we describe the potential of SERENITY in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Ecosystems. As a proof of concept, we describe the implementation of a prototype based on the application of the SERENITY model (including processes, artefacts and tools) to an industrial AmI scenario. A complete description of this prototype, along with all Security and Dependability (S&D) artefacts used is provided in this chapter. Besides, the chapter also provides a complete description of one of the S&D Patterns used in the prototype, in order both, to give a global view of SERENITY and to provide useful details about the realization of this scenario. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009.
