| Abstract | Until recently, the vast majority of research in wireless and mobile networks focused on so-called Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), where relatively stable end-to-end paths are the norm. More recently, research has focused on a different, Intermittently Connected Network (ICN) paradigm, where stable end-to-end paths are the exception and intermediate nodes may store data while waiting for transfer opportunities towards the destination. Protocols developed for MANETs generally do not work in ICNs since the connectivity assumptions are so different. In this talk I will first give an overview of ICNs and the types of challenges involved in their design and operation. I will then discuss our work in the WAM (wireless and mobile) Continuum project which is based on the simple but powerful observation that MANETs and ICNs fit into a continuum that generalizes these two previously distinct categories. Building on this observation, our work develops a framework that goes further to scope the entire space of wireless and mobile networks. I will summarize two efforts: The first gives clues of the fundamental relationship between ICNs and MANETs by unifying the use of message ferrying in ICNs with the well-known use of connected dominating set-based routing in MANETs. The second effort aims at developing a formal WAM Continuum framework where a network can be characterized by its position in this continuum. Certain network equivalence classes can be defined over subsets of this WAM continuum and this classification can be used to inform network design and operation. I will demonstrate how the unified view enabled by our framework can be used as a systematic, formal descriptive and evaluative tool. |

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.
