IST project ePerSpace N° ePerSpace Consortium

IST project ePerSpace N° ePerSpace idea Starting from the analysis of European user needs Middleware cooperation Personalised services Provide home integrated value-added services on whatever device and wherever you are ePerSpace

IST project ePerSpace N° ePerSpace global innovation idea Integrate technologies to show users a clear path to networking their digital home Key requirements: provide services at home and elsewhere  Easy to handle and at low cost  With sufficient data rates and end-to-end QoS for streaming applications (A/V)  Personalised (depending of user preference, context,…)  Seamless login  Integration of personal devices (e.g.: mobile phone) in the home  Home access from remote location

IST project ePerSpace N° ePerSpace focus Residential Gateway Service and Profile Management Content Service Provider Application Service Provider Network Service Provider Devices and Home network Content Provider Context and preferences adaptation for push/pull service Aggregation of services Management of distributed profiles Device Management Service GW, Unique interface, GW integrity Mobility Location

IST project ePerSpace N° ePerSpace general objectives Increase the user acceptance of networked multimedia systems and applications Develop innovative interoperable value-added networked services:  Personalisation data exchange  Aggregation of services  Context adaptation  Open interface for service providers Facilitate a mass-market adoption of such advanced services

IST project ePerSpace N° Global Interoperability (I):  Seamless login  Personalisation Broker for user profile distribution  Integration of mobility  Integration of broadcast services Work areas Home platform (H):  Home platform allowing delivery of multimedia services  Management server for services administration  Integration of protocols Home and personal devices (D):  Device discovery in the Home  Service discovery/continuity in the Home  Elsewhere access  Device community Rich Media Object (O):  Personalised Multimedia Content Distribution  Content Adaptation for several devices  Intelligent Navigation from Content analysis

IST project ePerSpace N° Major Milestones Two major checkpoints have been defined:  February 2005: intermediate test-beds will show first components. Loosely-coupled demonstrations  February 2006: Final trial test beds. Integration and interoperability shown at this stage

IST project ePerSpace N° Project structure

IST project ePerSpace N° Methodology Start from use cases and scenarios Design a reference architecture Split the architecture specification and development between several WPs with the relevant expertise Show a possible implementation via trials with a specific entity responsible of integrating the WPs work in test-beds Evaluate user acceptance, identify business models and reassess the original architecture
