| Abstract | Resource management in Cloud Computing has been dominated by system-level virtual machines to enable the management of resources using a coarse grained approach, largely in a manner independent from the applications running on these infrastructures. However, in such environments, although different types of applications can be running, the resources are delivered equally to each one, missing the opportunity to manage the available resources in a more efficient and application driven way. So, as more applications target managed runtimes, high level virtualization is a relevant abstraction layer that has not been properly explored to enhance resource usage, control, and effectiveness. We propose a VM economics model to manage cloud infrastructures, governed by a quality-of-execution (QoE) metric and implemented by an extended virtual machine. The Adaptive and Resource-Aware Java Virtual Machine (ARA-JVM) is a cluster-enabled virtual execution environment with the ability to monitor base mechanisms (e.g. thread cheduling, garbage collection, memory or network consumptions) to assess application's performance and reconfigure these mechanisms in runtime according to previously defined resource allocation policies. Reconfiguration is driven by incremental gains in quality-of-execution (QoE), used by the VM economics model to balance relative resource savings and perceived performance degradation. Our work in progress, aims to allow cloud providers to exchange resource slices among virtual machines, continually addressing where those resources are required, while being able to determine where the reduction will be more economically effective, i.e., will contribute in lesser extent to performance degradation. |

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.
