ABSTRACT

As the term convergence is heavily used in current publications, we suggest to define it as multidisciplinary, inhomogeneous integration with the aim to reach an added value. We use the convergence between telecommunication and information technology as an example to show different classes of convergence on different levels of abstraction.
