| Abstract | We present Figaro, a content discovery solution for mobile environments. Our main focus is on urban networks, in which high densities of users coexist in relatively narrow, circumscribed areas reached by an infrastructure (e.g., bus stops integrating an AP). Figaro networks are overlay networks that operate according to the publish/subscribe (pub/sub) paradigm, featuring two main types of nodes: Agents and Brokers. Agents produce and consume the content, while it is the Brokers' task to let demands and offers meet. Agents are mobile (possibly handheld) devices, while Brokers are middle-end devices, integrated in the infrastructure and interconnected via a reliable (typically wired) backbone. When they discover a Broker, Agents can register with it declaring the services or contents (files, items of information.) they are willing to share with other Agents. Once the registration is complete, Agents can ask the Broker for the services they need. The Broker maintains a content-based routing table and queries it to answer such requests. The set of Agents exchanging services through a Broker is called colony. In a pure overlay fashion, colonies do not necessarily correspond to a set of nearby Agents. Although many works have dealt pub/sub in mobile networks, only few of them take into account the presence of an infrastructure and the opportunities it implies. With respect to them, our work includes novel protocol entities and addresses additional security and reputation issues. In particular, we describe our reference scenario and the behavior of Figaro in such conditions. Then, we show how this behavior can be improved, increasing the hit ratio and providing resiliency to misbehaving nodes. |

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.
