Project details

Project astract The primary goal of SERENITY IP proposal is to enhance security and dependability for AmI<br/>ecosystems by capturing security expertise and making it available for automated processing.<br/>SERENITY will provide a framework supporting the automated integration, configuration,<br/>monitoring and adaptation of security and dependability mechanisms for such ecosystems.<br/>Technically, SERENITY will be based on (i) the enhanced notions of S&D Patterns and<br/>Integration Schemes, and (ii) the support for run-time pro-active and reactive monitoring of<br/>requirements. SERENITY focuses on five key areas to provide security and dependability<br/>mechanisms: (i) Organization & Business, (ii) Workflow & Services, and (iii) Network &<br/>Devices levels, (iv) provision of integrated solutions for these mechanisms and (v) support for<br/>run-time monitoring.<br/>The results coming from these areas will be integrated to produce the SERENITY framework.<br/>The results will be driven by the scenarios and the industrial requirements that will influence the<br/>research results to make them ready to be exploitable.<br/>The SERENITY framework will be made available as open source while other project results will<br/>form the basis of contributions to relevant standardisation bodies. Exploitation of results will be<br/>achieved through different routes but with the common theme of partners incorporating these<br/>results in current or planned products.<br/>SERENITY brings together software companies, application solution developers and research<br/>institutions and will be driven by the need for security and dependability solutions in e-business,<br/>e-government and communication domains. SERENITY is integrated in the following ways:<br/>- technically, through complementary focus areas addressed by strong research teams,<br/>industrially, through multi-sectors application partners who share a common vision for the<br/>potential of security issues,<br/>- managerially, through a strong management structure based on entrepreneurial practices,<br/>- internationally, with partners from 9 different countries,<br/>- personally, through strong existing working relationships between partners.
