The SMASH project is embedded in ACTS DOMAIN-1 (Multimedia Services). In this domain we participated in Sub-domain 3 which is called "Server-Based Multimedia Services". The contribution of the SMASH project in this domain was focused on the role of local storage in the Home and how it can be combined with storage functions present in the network.
SMASH has also actively participated in chains. The most important chain is the SII-chain which is on "Interactive Multimedia Services". Contributions has also been given to the DAVIC chain activities.
The participation in European standardisation bodies has been a focus point. On the one hand we actively contributed in the ongoing DVB activities and on the other hand we were involved in the CENELEC Technical Committees which are responsible for the definition of future digital interconnect systems in the home. Towards the end of the project we have also made an important contribution to DAVIC.
Furthermore, in 1997 partner Philips hosted two young scientists from University of Ljubljana under the Visiting Scientists Programme. They contributed to the SMASH work.
