Contribution Overview

• A starting point for discussing within the
  Ubicomp
• community about whom and how the home network
• will be designed
• Networked technology interacts with a houses
• infrastructure.

Outline

• Introduction
• Background
• Participants and Methods
• Networking in the Evolving Home
• Conclusion

4
Introduction

• Computing has migrated into the home.
• Past research focus on individual device
• Home networking
• Under-explored
• Interaction with homes infrastructures
• Ubiquitous computing research rely
• Seamless integrations?

5
Introduction

• Four themes of paradoxes
• Virtual boundaries
• Home network control
• Home network access
• Responsibilities V.S. possibilities of WiFi

Domestic Technology Home Networking

• Home networking is only the apart of domestic
  technologies.
• Smart home research solves the problems
  associated with infrastructure.

Domestic Technology Home Networking

• Telecommuting
• CareNet

13
Site

• Affected what Stuff is installed and required
• Shaping Services and managing boundaries
• Cable, Digital Subscriber Line
• Mismatch of physical and virtual site boundaries
• Is it good or bad for community?

14
Site

• Network security personal data
• WEP and MAC control to manage security

15
Structure

• Ethernet installation with wired LAN due to
  reliability of connection
• Embedding the home networking into the Structure
• Challenges cost and complexity
• Wireless

16
Service for responsibility

• Internet, cable, phone line
• Ethernet, PowerLine and X10
• Service Provider v.s. DIY
• Financial and technical
• People can not trust and accept the
  responsibility for the Ubicomp community. Ex.TW
  Cable

17
Space for access paradox

• Space Plan
• computer in kitchen
• Private space
• Constrained access for children
• Against ubiquitous access

18
Stuff for the control paradox

• Devices
• Computing and AV related equipments
• Complexity of device configuration and
  interoperability
• Multiple remotes, noticed maps and instructions
• Householder-centric V.S. technologically- centric

Conclusion

• Security is the most concerned for Site, Service,
  Space
• Stuff must be made easy use, ex. iPod
• Householders should have greater degree of
• responsibility for designing and delivering
  the Service
• of the home network.
