  1. Home Networking Maha Shouman CPSC701.81

  2. Overview • What is a home network? • A bit of history • So what? • How are home networks viewed? • Trouble? • Design implications • Conclusion • References • Questions and Discussion

  3. What is a home network?

  4. What is a home network?

  5. A bit of history

  6. A bit of history From shelterdness to connectivity

  7. A bit of history Evolution of technology

  8. A bit of history Evolution of social networks

  9. So what (a.k.a. why should we care)? • Technological initiative • The “Communication Revolution”

  10. So what (a.k.a. why should we care)? • Community initiative • Community acceptance

  11. So what (a.k.a. why should we care)? “Whatever impact industrialization and urbanization may have had on nuclear families, they have not erased the social support functions”

  12. So what (a.k.a. why should we care)? • 30 million people with home networks • Design implications: • What are the current technological needs? • What motivates people to buy new technologies?

  13. How are home networks viewed? • A/V networks are a place to “come together” • Multiple networks • Distinction between personal and work use • Being neighborly • Ownership • Computers, not A/V • Some specific to room • Digital housekeeping

  14. How are home networks viewed? Consumers Gurus

  15. How are home networks viewed?

  16. How are home networks viewed?

  17. How are home networks viewed? • Gurus • Have professional experience • Setup and maintenance of network • Use network conventions • Logical view • Consumers • Include furniture • Include routines of use • Merge infrastructure devices • Physical view

  18. Trouble? • Umm.. Yeah.

  19. Trouble? • Complexity • Mainly designed for professionals • Low level details

  20. Trouble? • Coordination • Photographs • iPods • TiVo

  21. Trouble? Invisibility

  22. Trouble? • “Integration Paradox”

  23. Trouble?

  24. Trouble? • Legacy • External entities • Focus on visuals • 30% return rate • One person’s responsibility

  25. Design Implications • Organizational and spatial • Visualization • Evolution of network • Design for routines • Privacy and security • Self-healing • Possible protocol re-design • New interaction techniques • Legacy and transparency

  26. Conclusion • Home networks encompass both social technological aspects • Many user experience problems • Partially due to consumer view of the network • Designs should consider space, routines and experience
