| Abstract | Some of the main challenges related to wireless sensor networks implementation are low-quality communication, energy conservation, resource-constrained computation, distributed network management, data processing and the scalability of the protocols. This combination makes the implementation of software a demanding task and encourages to new approaches when thinking of software architecture.In this paper an architecture combining a low protocol stack with a cross-layer management entity is presented. One of the main ideas behind the architecture presented is to make application programming easier and to simplify the protocol stack in such a way that it would suit better for the limited resources available. The role of the cross-layer management entity is to offer a shared data structure and to take care of some sensor network specific functions, like topology management and power saving. It also provides certain services that applications and the layers in the protocol stack can use.This architecture has been created specially for needs of wireless sensor networks implementation and the special attention has been paid to modularity and testability of implementation. An implementation based on this cross-layer architecture, CiNet, is also presented in this paper. The functionality of the architecture and the CiNet network was verified by using two different protocol stacks. Wireless communication of the network is based on the 802.15.4 technology. |

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.
