  1. Cross Programme Themes Carlos Morais-Pires@cec.eu.int INFSO.E.3 Extended Home Environments in the IST 4th Call

  2. IHDNs: a key infrastructure to deliver MM to the end-user • Specifications for Home Local Networks are available (from different sources (DVB, OSGI, etc) • Different groups are currently working on Network Independent Protocols for IP based Broadband Interactive Services

  3. Action Lines IV.6.2 and CPA1 • to develop and experiment platformsfor the integration of applications and services for the “extended” home (for private and/or for professional use within homes) • platforms for ‘invisible’ intelligent devices that can be personalised and adaptive, for provision of services, exercising of specific tasks or control functions

  4. Scope Test-beds and Applications Convergence of media and integration of broadcasting and interactive services Networked devices embedded in commonplace appliances Interoperability of home networking technologies and of networked appliances integration with public networks

  5. Infrastructure for Interactive MM DVB Multimedia Home Platform TV Programs Broadcasting Gateway Internet Home Network

  6. All access channels interoperate… and all Roads lead to Home
