Popis: This chapter provides a technical overview and description of the four use cases and their corresponding applications that were developed in the framework of CONVERGENCE Project: Photos in the Cloud and Analyses on the Earth (under the responsibility of partner Alinari), Videos in the Cloud and Analyses on the Earth (under the responsibility of partner FMSH), Augmented Lecture Podcast (under the responsibility of partner LMU) and Smart Retailing (under the responsibility of partners WIPRO and UTI). Each subsection begins with a brief description of the considered use case, where the advantages of CONVERGENCE over current TCP/IP implementations are highlighted. The analysis goes on with the functional description of applications, alongside some implementation details and requirements. In the final sections of the chapter, the basic CONVERGENCE tools are described along with additional proposals for further exploitation of the considered use cases. The implementation of tools and applications was based on: (1) the functional requirements of use cases specified in CONVERGENCE Project Deliverable D.2.2; (2) the definition of the Versatile Digital Item (VDI) described in Chap. 5 and specified in CONVERGENCE Project Deliverable D.4.1; and (3) the CONVERGENCE middleware protocols and technology engines described in Chap. 4 and fully specified in CONVERGENCE Project Deliverables D.5.3 and D6.3. Moreover, the impact of CONVERGENCE to the end users who evaluated all developed applications is highlighted as well.
