| Abstract | We are constructing a workbench for computational geometry. This is intended to provide a framework for the implementation, testing, demonstration and application of algorithms in computational geometry. The workbench is being written in Smalltalk/V using an Apple Macintosh II.The object-oriented model used in Smalltalk is well-suited to algorithms manipulating geometric objects. In addition, the programming environment can be easily extended, and provides excellent graphics facilities, data abstraction, encapsulation, and incremental modification.We have completed the design and implementation of the workbench platform, insofar as such a system can ever be considered complete. Among the features of the system are:an interactive graphical environment, including operations for creation and editing of geometric figures, and for the operation of algorithm on these figuresthe system supports:high-level representation-independent geometric objects (points, lines, polygons,…)geometric data structures (segment trees, range trees,…)non-geometric data structures (finger trees, splay trees, heaps, …)“standard” algorithmic tools in as general a form as possible. Algorithms currently available in the system include Tarjan and van Wyk's triangulation of a simple polygon, Fortune's Voronoi diagram,Preparata's chain decomposition, and Melkman's convex hull algorithm. tools for the animation of geometric algorithmshigh-level graphical and symbolic debugging facilitiesportability, due to the separation of the machine-independent code and the machine-dependent user-interface.automatic handling of basic operations (device-independent graphics, storage management) allowing the implementor to focus on algorithmic issuesOur group is currently working on extensions in two directions:implementing additional algorithms from two-dimensional computational geometryproviding the framework for implementations of three-dimensional algorithmsWe are also conducting comparison studies of different algorithms and data structures, including a comparison of different triangulation and convex hull algorithms for large input sizes and an empirical test of the dynamic optimality conjecture of Sleator and Tarjan using both Splay and Finger trees in the Tarjan and van Wyk triangulation.The workbench is being demonstrated during this symposium. |

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.
