Abstract | The computer science research community has now recognized to the importance of fundamental, use-inspired and use-directed research and development, in computer science and engineering, for human health, healthcare, and healthcare economics. To cite one example, the first priority stated in the December 2010 Report of the (US) President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), to the President of the United States, entitled Designing a Digital Future, is that the US Government ".should invest in a national, long-term, multi-agency research initiative on [networking and information technology] for health that goes well beyond the current national program to adopt electronic health records. The initiative should include sponsorship of multi-disciplinary research on three themes: to make possible comprehensive lifelong multi-source health records for individuals; to enable both professionals and the public to obtain and act on health knowledge from diverse and varied sources as part of an interoperable health IT ecosystem; and to provide appropriate information, tools, and assistive technologies that empower individuals to take charge of their own health and healthcare and to reduce its cost." The urgent need for improvements in health, healthcare and healthcare economics has emerged as a strategic priority not only for society, in general, but for computer science and engineering, in particular. Software engineering research has a potentially pivotal role to play, because required advances in health and healthcare require fundamental advances in our ability to produce ultracomplex and critical software underlying future health cyber-infrastructure systems and devices. Yet the software engineering research community has yet to fully organize itself around a clear, ambitious, and promising research agenda for health and healthcare. The engagement of software engineering researchers in the healthcare domain remains light. Moreover, fostering involvement of top researchers might require changes the norms and habits of our own research community. The SEHC workshop series provides a high-visibility, high-impact venue for researchers in software engineering who are active or interested in this area, to assemble to understand and advance the state of the art. The SEHC 2011 workshop will focus specifically on the need to develop and articulate a research agenda and strategy. The product of the workshop will be a significant draft research agenda document. We encourage those interested in this area to attend and contribute to the formulation of this document. A day of talks will be followed by an agenda- setting keynote and a full day of collaboration to produce a draft Software Engineering Agenda for Use-Inspired Research in Health and Healthcare. |

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.
