| Abstract | Formally verifying a program requires significant skill not only because of complex interactions between program subcomponents, but also because of deficiencies in current verification interfaces. These skill barriers make verification economically unattractive by preventing the use of less-skilled (less-expensive) workers and distributed workflows (i.e., crowdsourcing). This paper presents VeriWeb, a web-based IDE for verification that decomposes the task of writing verifiable specifications into manageable subproblems. To overcome the information loss caused by task decomposition, and to reduce the skill required to verify a program, VeriWeb incorporates several innovative user interface features: drag and drop condition construction, concrete counterexamples, and specification inlining. To evaluate VeriWeb, we performed three experiments. First, we show that VeriWeb lowers the time and monetary cost of verification by performing a comparative study of VeriWeb and a traditional tool using 14 paid subjects contracted hourly from Exhedra Solution's vWorker online marketplace. Second, we demonstrate the dearth and insufficiency of current ad-hoc labor marketplaces for verification by recruiting workers from Amazon's Mechanical Turk to perform verification with VeriWeb. Finally, we characterize the minimal communication overhead incurred when VeriWeb is used collaboratively by observing two pairs of developers each use the tool simultaneously to verify a single program. |

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.
