| Abstract | The broad spectrum of universities, industrial research laboratories, and computer companies represented at the Second IEEE Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems provided a rich snapshot of current activities in operating systems. There were representatives of 19 operating system research projects among the participants and several from commercial offerings. The attendees came from seven countries on three continents: North America, Europe, and South America.Since the last Workshop in 1987, there have been more advances in hardware than in software functions. Software standards continue to emerge in the areas of operating system interfaces, page description languages, window management interfaces, and communication protocols. New software applications exist in the areas of multimedia and multi-node computing. Object-oriented technology is already present in running systems and gaining importance. The areas that the participants perceived needing most future work were operating system abstractions, workstation operation, system responsiveness, input output, network services, management of clusters of workstations, and failure handling.While processor speeds, main memory access speeds, memory density, and secondary storage capacity continue to increase fast, disk seek times have decreased only slightly, and the bandwidth of most local-area networks has not increased at all. FDDI networks are just beginning to be deployed. The software is adjusting to this hardware scenario by using caching at multiple levels of the systems.In the last two years large main memories at individual computing nodes and multi-node computer installations have become common. It is expected that most future computing nodes will have substantial local storage and that high-bandwidth networks will enable the support of continuous media like vocie and video. Input output, to disks, to networks, and to user-oriented devices, is expected to become the central problem in future systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
