| Abstract | This paper describes a particular realization of a Lambda-Red language as a machine language. Parts of it resemble the Lambda Calculus or a transposed form of it. A constructor syntax is employed such that a linearized preorder representation of the syntax tree is the information structure on which the machine operates. Instances of reduction rules are recognized by combinations of constructors and atoms. Reduction rules with 1, 2 and 3 constructors and/or atoms have been described.A recursive control structure forms the essential part of the implementation. There is a one to one correspondence between constructor syntax and control structure rather than a simulation of recursive structure by von Neumann type instruction sequencing. Thus the system is easily expandable by new constructors and atoms. Execution, that is the application of reduction rules, is subsumed under editing. Emphasis has been on the following pragmatic concepts: locality of action, directness, and security. There are no error messages, errors appear as irreducible expressions. There is no "RUN" instruction, instead the number of reductions to be performed is specified. Whatever happens - it is restricted to subexpressions. The user has the security that all his actions are limited and predictable.The machine language resembles a higher level programming language, but it is "variable-free": expressions are named, not boxes which contain expressions. There seems to be a concept of late binding. However, this is not made a matter of principle, but a matter of degree. Between a general statement of a problem and the result are many intermediate representations - all in the same language - corresponding to various degrees of binding parameters. The user has complete freedom in the choice of variable names. There is a specially developped protection system which avoids confusion of variables.The efficiency of the system is limited by the rate characters can be processed which is essentially determined by the control store cycletime. Measurements will be performed as soon as a simulation of the system is available. Three other important subjects, namely arithmetic, the definition of constants, and source sink input-output will be reported later. |

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.
