ABSTRACT
The scenarios of ambient intelligence introduce a new computing paradigm and set
new challenges for the design and engineering of secure and dependable systems.
This chapter describes SERENITY, a comprehensive approach to overcome those
problems. The key to success in this scenario is to capture security expertise in such
a way that it can be supported by automated means. SERENITY’s integral model
of ADD — security and dependability (S&D) considers both static and dynamic
aspects by relying in two main innovations: (1) the enhanced notion of S&D pat-
terns and integration schemes; and (2) the computer aided run-time monitoring of
