-Foreword
---------
-
-This document describes application framework fundamentals. 
-FCS (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development.
-It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.
-
-Overview
---------
-
-The application framework on top of the security framework
-provides components to install and uninstall applications
-as well as to run them in a secured environment.
-
-The goal of the framework is to manage applications and hide security details
-to applications.
-
-For the reasons explained in introduction, it was choose not to reuse Tizen
-application framework directly, but to rework a new framework inspired from Tizen.
-
-fundamentals remain identical: the applications are distributed
-in a digitally signed container that should match widget specifications
-normalized by the W3C. This is described by the technical
-recommendations [widgets] and [widgets-digsig] of the W3 consortium.
-
-As today this model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications
-but it could be extended to any other class of applications.
-
-The management of widget package signatures.
-Current model is only an initial step, it might be extended in the
-future to include new feature (ie: incremental delivery).
