Today's "Home of the Future" in 10 lessons |

Waiting for improved or cheaper solutions is pointless today.

During this session, prepared by KNX (world standard, ISO/IEC 14543), a comprehensive panel of stakeholders of “today's home of the future” (from the manufacturer to the home builder and the home owner) will share its experience with the audience. All this … in 10 lessons!

Working in the perspective of 2010 |

During the preparation of the 7th research Framework Programme (FP7), European Technology Platforms (ETPs) were formed in the ICT area. The goal was for each of them to group major European and international stakeholders around a given theme, with the i2010 programme as their perspective. During this session, leading organisations of the Networked Electronic Media (NEM) ETP will openly share their strategic vision of the connected home, one of the NEM core focuses, with Net-atHome™2007 attendees.
