Technology is changing our lives in numerous and ever increasing ways. Even a simple modern house contains wired and wireless networks, dedicated devices (such as TV set-top boxes and game consoles), multi-media displays, mobile devices, and traditional computers. Unfortunately, managing this technology is a challenge to all but the most sophisticated users, and as a result, users are increasingly overwhelmed with the administration, integration, and security management of their home infrastructure. This work simplifies the operation and management of home-based technology, through a new architecture that provides users with simple, powerful, and safe mechanisms for executing programs and storing data. The high-level concept is to support the outsourcing of a large portion of home computing and data management to third parties. The project examines mechanisms that allow third party operators to manage, back-up, upgrade, and diagnose/repair the applications and data resident within the home. As well, the project examines an in-home architecture in which applications and data are hosted off of a powerful server, enabling users are able to access their applications and data from a variety of devices, using a combination of new search mechanisms and thin-client techniques. Overall, the project makes home computing as easy to use as other home infrastructure, such as heating or security systems that just work in an invisible and natural way. In the long run, the existance of PCs as we know them will disappear and be replaced by appliances that are easily operated by children and adults alike.

技术正在以各种方式改变我们的生活，而且越来越多。 即使是一个简单的现代住宅也包含有线和无线网络、专用设备（如电视机顶盒和游戏机）、多媒体显示器、移动的设备和传统计算机。 不幸的是，除了最复杂的用户之外，管理这项技术对所有人来说都是一个挑战，因此，用户越来越多地被家庭基础设施的管理、集成和安全管理所淹没。 这项工作简化了基于家庭的技术的操作和管理，通过一个新的架构，为用户提供简单，强大和安全的机制来执行程序和存储数据。 高级概念是支持将大部分家庭计算和数据管理外包给第三方。 该项目研究了允许第三方运营商管理、备份、升级和诊断/修复住宅内驻留的应用程序和数据的机制。 此外，该项目还研究了一种家庭架构，其中应用程序和数据托管在功能强大的服务器上，使用户能够使用新的搜索机制和瘦客户端技术相结合，从各种设备访问他们的应用程序和数据。总的来说，该项目使家庭计算与其他家庭基础设施一样易于使用，例如供暖或安全系统，它们只是以无形和自然的方式工作。 从长远来看，我们所知道的个人电脑的存在将消失，取而代之的是儿童和成年人都容易操作的电器。
