Step by Step

Until now, CONVERGENCE …

 

13) September 2011 – preliminary demo highlighting major system component operation

12) July 2011 – CONVERGENCE documents submitted to and accepted by MPEG

11) July 2011 – general vision, functional specifications for the tools and sample applications, and a plan for the trials

10) July 2011 – system architecture

9) July 2011 – review of use-cases and requirements for developing of CONVERGENCE network

8) May 2011 – requirements and initial protocol architecture to implement scenarios

7) March 2011 – preliminary definition of VDI

6) December 2010 – analysis of user scenarios for possible business models and collection of CONVERGENCE technology enabled business scenarios

5) November 2010 – initial specification of key technical components of the architecture – in particular VDI and protocols between different system components

4) November 2010 – preliminary system architecture capable of meet these requirements

3) November 2010 – set of functional requirements necessary and sufficient to implement these scenarios

2) October 2010 – set of user scenarios that can be generalized to a very large number of applications and target populations

1) July 2010 – basic management structures and technical infrastructure needed to run the project
