| Abstract | A General Purpose Vision System (GPVS) is an open and domain-independent system that is able to build, maintain, and use an internal representation of the external world from data provided by physical sensors such as cameras. The experience in constructing the Vision As Process (VAP) and SATURNE systems using a Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) approach has enabled us to compare, from a DAI point of view, these two systems with other major existing GPVS's. As far as we know this work represents the first large-scale comparison between GPVS's at the module and module-integration levels using a DAI formalism. This has lead us to the identification of several basic common features within the systems studied. Furthermore we think these common features are essential for the construction of a GPVS, namely: 1/the distribution of the knowledge representation provides level-agents that denote the same knowledge at a given level of representation 2/the distribution of the knowledge processing provides focus-agents which realize the system's "focus of attention" 3/intersection of level-agents and focus-agents determines the active basic-agents that explicitly or implicitly constitute the system at a given time. The description of GPVSs in terms of basic-agents is a novel feature of our approach and may also be applicable to other domains such as robotics. |

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.
