The networked home of the future

The vision of the networked home has been around for many years, and we are still far away from fully realising it. We are rather in a transitory stage between the only moderately digital and connected home of the past 20 years and the future home of fully integrated networked devices and ambient-intelligent services.

Although the optimism of earlier days may have been a bit premature, it looks like within the next decade we could see the advent of home networking on a mass-market scale. We are close to reaching a culmination point for the convergence of cheap and powerful storage, excellent interfaces, and a multitude of access networks approaching the gigabit-per-second level of data transmission.

The cover theme of this Eurescom mess@ge issue presents selected articles by leading European researchers in the area of home networking, providing a glimpse on the networked home of the future.

A BIT BEYOND

Total recall - The lifeloggers are coming

Lifelogging has been around for almost three decades. So far, it has been only something for a few geeks. This may change now, argues Eurescom mess@ge editor-in-chief, Milon Gupta. Cheap storage and smart mobile devices in combination with social media could make lifelogging the next hype.
