| Abstract | The goal of this two-day meeting was to foster interaction between active workers in mobile computing, with a view toward cross-fertilization of ideas. Given the youth of the field, such interactions could have substantial impact on its future direction. In keeping with this goal, the conference organizers chose to have a small, informal workshop rather than a larger and more formal conference. The workshop was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Operating Systems, in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS and USENIX.The workshop was held on Thursday and Friday December 8-9 1994 at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz. The weather was beautiful and the oceanside locale spectacular --- alas, it is not clear whether these helped or hindered the workshop, since many longing looks were evident on the faces of participants as they gazed out of the windows! The General Chair, Darrell Long, had done an excellent job of selecting the workshop site and setting the stage for the workshop. He was assisted in local arrangements by two student volunteers, Jim Cummiskey and Chane Fullmer.What follows is a summary of the discussions that took place during the workshop. It is based on notes taken by four student volunteers (Peter Grillo, C.K. Toh, Adrian Friday, and N. Asokan). They did an excellent job of taking detailed and complete notes. Any errors or omissions in this document are certainly my responsibility, not theirs.This digest is intended to be a supplement to the papers in the proceedings, not a substitute. Rather than producing a verbatim transcript, I've tried to focus on those interactions that seemed most insightful, controversial or evoked most response from the audience. Such a report must, by its very nature, be subjective. I've tried to be as objective as possible, but I'm sure there are places where my personal biases show through. My apologies in advance if you attended the workshop and your favorite comment, question or discussion isn't mentioned here. |

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.
