| Abstract | Due to their potential applications in various situations such as battlefield communications, emergency relief, environmental monitoring, and other special-purpose operations, wireless sensor networks have recently emerged as a new and exciting research area that has attracted a good deal of well-deserved attention in the literature. In this work we take the view that a sensor network consists of a set of tiny sensors, massively deployed over a geographical area. The sensors are capable of performing processing, sensing and communicating with each other by radio links. Alongside, with the tiny sensors, more powerful devices referred as Aggregating and Forwarding Nodes, (AFN, for short) are also deployed. In support of their mission, the AFNs are endowed with a special radio interface for long distance communications, miniaturized GPS, and appropriate networking tools for data collection and aggregation. As a fundamental prerequisite for self-organization, the sensors need to acquire some form of location awareness. Since fine-grain location awareness usually assumes that the sensors are GPS-enabled, in the case of tiny sensors the best we can hope for is to endow them with coarse-grain location awareness. This task is referred to as training and its responsibility lies with the AFNs. However, due to the random deployment, some of the sensors fall under the coverage area of several AFNs, in which case the goal is for these sensors to acquire location information relative to all the covering AFNs. The corresponding task is referred to as multi-training.The main contribution of this work is to show that in case the conflict graphs of the AFN coverage is bipartite, multi-training can be completed very fast by a simple algorithm. |

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.
