| Abstract | Welcome to the First Middleware for Sensor Networks Workshop Proceedings! The use of middleware in fields as diverse as enterprise computing, mobile and ubiquitous computing, and even traditional real-time and embedded systems is well established - and for good reason. Middleware typically plays two key roles. On the one hand, middleware shields application developers from the low-level details of different underlying platforms. On the other hand, middleware is used to provide suitably expressive and high-level programming models making application development easier and therefore accessible to a wider community of developers. To date, the development of sensor network applications has been dominated by the use of low-level and platform-specific application programming interfaces that are often tedious and error prone to use. In part, this approach is motivated by the severe resource constraints of typical sensor nodes. However, as sensor network applications become more widespread and the diversity of platforms increases there will be a pressing need for middleware just as is the case in other domains. The challenge is to define appropriate middleware architectures encompassing appropriate programming models while respecting the constraints that are unique to sensor networking. The goal of this workshop is to contribute to addressing this challenge by bringing together those researchers already engaged in this research.In response to the call for papers, we received some twenty six papers covering a wide range of topics. We eventually selected eleven submissions for presentation in the workshop covering areas such as dynamic reconfiguration, quality of service, and virtualisation. We believe that the mix of papers provides a good snapshot of current research in the field as well as a jumping off point for discussion of the important research challenges in the field, a key part of the workshop. |

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.
