Deliverables

The table below provides a list of the deliverables of the CONVERGENCE project. To gain a clear picture of project results, up to the first year review, readers are advised to read the deliverables in the following order:

• D2.1 v2: D2.1 provides a high level overview of the projects four user scenarios. For each scenario, the deliverable outlines the advantages of CONVERGENCE compared to alternative technologies and provides results from focus groups of potential end-users. This analysis leads on to a list of CONVERGENCE’s unique selling points, and a detailed specification of requirements for VDIs, the CONVERGENCE middleware, the CONVERGENCE network and the “Community Dictionary Service. D2.1 v2 (due at month 11) supersedes and replaces the previous v1 (due at month 6).
• D9.1 provides a preliminary discussion of possible business scenarios. The scenarios discussed are derived from D2.1 v1. Business scenarios for the revised use cases will be presented in D9.2.
• D2.2 provides detailed walkthroughs of the user scenarios, as they will be implemented in the trials. The walkthroughs are used to defined initial requirements for CONVERGENCE tools and applications
• D3.2 provides a detailed specification of CONVERGENCE’s 3-level System Architecture and its various components (and supersedes D3.1)
• D4.1 specifies the VDI – the fundamental unit of transaction in the architecture
• D5.1 provides a preliminary specification of middleware and network protocols
• D7.1 defines a general vision, and functional specifications for the tools and sample applications to be used in CONVERGENCE real life trials
• D8.1 presents a detailed plan for the trials.
