| Abstract | The emergence of software architecture as a field of study is a relatively recent phenomenon[2]. As a discipline, its goals are to better understand the high-level organization of software in terms of computational elements and the interactions between them. This proposal to attend a workshop on software architectures for cooperative systems comes from a researcher in software architecture who is only remotely aware of the specific issues in the design of cooperative systems. In this proposal I will explain what contribution can be made from someone outside of CSCW. I also expect that the critical examination of a complex domain such as cooperative systems will greatly inform my own understanding of software architecture.Within any software domain, such as CSCW, it is important to make explicit the high level design invariants of the software architecture. Such reflection leads to the definition of models or reference architectures intended to positively influence the future development of similar systems. As explained above, this process of defining a reference architecture requires expertise in the general area of software architecture as well as domain expertise. One need not look far outside the scope of CSCW to find an example of a reference architecture with profound influence on design. From the mid 1980's, many user interface management systems have based their highest level abstractions on the Seeheim model [4], with the separation implied by the API, dialogue controller and presentation. One can ask to what extent the authors of the Seeheim model anticipated the influence of their work and gave due consideration to all of the problems involved in UI design.My own interest in software architecture falls into two categories -- semi-formal, structured evaluation of architectural artifacts for non-functional qualities and formal definition of architectural patterns or styles. I will briefly decribe each. |

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.
