| Abstract | The Unified Modeling Language (UML) [7] is a standardlanguage for modelling the design of object oriented softwaresystems. The currently available UML design toolsmainly provide support for drawing the UML diagrams, i.e.for recording a chosen design, but not for choosing a design.The design of a system is a non-trivial, iterative process anderrors which are introduced at this level are usually veryexpensive to fix. Hence we argue that UML design toolsshould provide more support for the design activity as such.Ideally a UML design tool should allow the modeller toexplore different design options, provide feedback about thedesign in its current state, and even make suggestions forimprovements where this is possible. The usage of such atool would be highly interactive and very much like a game,played repeatedly between modeller and tool. We claimthat this similarity makes formal games a natural and intuitivechoice for the definition of tool concepts. Since formalgames can be used for verification, a game-based tool canprovide feedback about flaws in the design that is formallyfounded.Games as used in verification normally require a completeformal model of the software system, and a formalspecification of the property that is to be verified. Instead ofthis we would like to let the designer play a game directlyon the basis of the UML model, even though a UML modelis often incomplete and informally defined. We also wantto allow the modeller explore variations of the design whilethe game is being played.The research hypothesis for this work is that formalgames are a suitable technique for more advanced UML designtools which point the modeller to .aws in the design,help to improve the design and provide support for makingdesign decisions. |

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.
