| Abstract | Welcome to CASCON 2008 --- the 18th Annual International Conference hosted by the IBM Centers for Advanced Studies. The CASCON "Meeting of Minds" conference series provides computer science and software engineering academics and professionals the opportunity to explore some of the exciting research that is underway in Canada and around the world. This year we had many interesting submissions that describe innovative approaches and fresh perspectives. CASCON 2008 attracted 73 submissions of papers from a wide variety of places. Of the 208 authors who were listed on the submitted papers, 128 (62%) came from Canada, 28 (13%) from Europe, 27 (13%) from Asia, 18 (9%) from the US, and 7 (3%) from South America. Measuring by institutions, 158 (76%) of the authors were from academic or government research institutes and 50 (24%) from industry. We followed a rigorous process to ensure that accepted papers met a standard of high quality. Each paper was reviewed by at least three members of our Program Committee, followed by a three-week on-line discussion period. Ultimately, we accepted 23 papers (32% acceptance rate) and recommended to authors of 14 papers to submit their work to the Posters track. The resulting program features three sessions on Software Engineering, two sessions on Systems, and a session each on Web Applications, Databases and Compilers. We hope you will take the opportunity to attend the Papers sessions following the morning keynotes. |

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.
