This contract is associated to Rémi Druilhe and Rémi Mélisson's PhD theses co-advised by ADAM and the Orange Labs company. The houses and their extensions (vehicles, holiday homes, work at home) are now invaded by a multitude of communicating objects to content management, viewing multiple video streams or the sharing of information within a community network. These objects offer such services with capacities of configuration remote administration, and advanced interactions with the end-user or between devices or services. Given the lack of universality of proposals from IT and devices companies and the lack of interoperability of these devices and services, it becomes necessary to offer a virtual environment named Extended Digital Home to encompass and unify these proposals and make life easier for the inhabitants. First, we will propose a unified model for integrating devices and services inside and outside the house with a continuum between private and public lives. Second, we will study an energy model to save energy in this extended environment. Overall, the goal of this project will be to propose to design a model for a cloud inside home and to provide some means to reduce the energy using on media devices. The first results have been published in [15] and  [45] .
