+Use cases of the binder afb-daemon
+----------------------------------
+
+This section tries to give a better understanding of the binder
+usage through several use cases.
+
+### Remotely running application
+
+One of the most interresting aspect of using the binder afb-daemon
+is the ability to run applications remotely. This feature is
+possible because the binder afb-daemon implements native web
+protocols.
+
+So the [figure binder, basis](#binder-fig-1) would become
+when the application is run remotely:

+### Adding native features to HTML5/QML applications
+
+Applications can provide with their packaged delivery a plugin.
+That plugin will be instanciated for each application instance.
+The methods of the plugin will be accessible by applications and
+will be excuted within the security context.
+
+### Offering services to the system
+
+It is possible to run the binder afb-daemon as a daemon that provides the
+API of its plugins.
+
+This will be used for:
+
+1. offering common APIs
+
+2. provide application's services (services provided as application)
+
+In that case, the figure showing the whole aspects is

+
+The plugins of the binder afb-daemon
+------------------------------------
+
+The binder can instanciate plugins. The primary use of plugins
+is to add native methods that can be accessed by applications
+written with any language through web technologies ala JSON RPC.
+
+This simple idea is declined to serves multiple purposes:
+
+1. add native feature to applications
+
+2. add common API available by any applications
+3. provide customers services
