| Abstract | The control of large military forces is creating the need for large data-processing systems located in transport aircraft and in other situations where tight quarters and hostile environments call for the design features found in airborne systems. In these applications the configuration of the computer and its peripheral equipment strongly resembles what is found in a typical commercial data-processing system, with some additional requirements for reliability. In particular, the functional programs are complex and extensive, and the availability of a complete package of support software, including compilers and utility routines as well as the resident executive, is likely to be of critical importance. Because of its cost, so complete a software package cannot reasonably be developed specifically to answer a particular military need; it must be captured from an existing software system. The only source of complete data-management software packages is commercial data-processing; and thus it makes practical sense for a large, militarized data-processing computer to be strictly compatible with an existing commercial product. As a bonus, the commercial computer can then be used as a support computer for compilation and program checkout. An example of a program in which an airborne computer is supported by an existing ground-based commercial computer is found in the Strategic Air Command's Post Attack Command and Control System---Airborne Data Automation. In this system the airborne computer is the RCA/USAF Variable Instruction Computer and the ground support computer is the IBM 7090. |

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.
