| Abstract | In this paper, we propose assistive service provision architecture in pervasive environments. This architecture is based on a distributed approach and ensures service design, deployment and discovery aspects. In order to perform those aspects, several constraints are supported by this architecture such as the context of the pervasive environment, the user profile and the terminal profile. Delivered services are dedicated to dependent people (elderly and people with disabilities). Our strategy is based on our previous work on smart home for people with disabilities. We also present the OSGi-based implementation of our architecture. This implementation is a first step to experiment and validate our approach. We are aiming at having evaluations in real conditions The rapid development of information and communication technologies is opening a large variety of new services and aids not only for valid people, but also for dependent people due to physical/cognitive restriction or the elderly. Combining technical aids and mobile technology allows those people to benefit from an independent living in both usual and temporary living environments. |

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.
