| Abstract | Only recently, for the first time, private individuals are in a position to provide telecommunication services. This was brought on by the emergence of low-cost Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technologies. The density of WLANs in many urban areas is high and increasing. The access bandwidth that WLANs can offer to individual users is greater than what cellular offers-even if the backhaul is a simple DSL connection. In addition, certain new mobile phones support WLAN technology and protocols. Thus, the stage is set for an alternative public cellular network, one that relies on numerous WLAN access points owned and managed by private individuals.We view home WLANs as an underexploited resource. We believe that a controlled WLAN sharing scheme is interesting, viable, and urgently needed. Such a scheme would allow outsiders who are passing by home WLANs to access services on the network in a systematic way. Why would individuals share their WLANs when potential direct and indirect costs are involved? The basic idea is that they would do it in exchange of expected similar services in the future on other WLANs.We have defined, designed, and evaluated a system for sharing WLANs with others, called Peer-to-Peer Wireless Network Confederation (P2PWNC). The system is relying on the principle of indirect reciprocity. We show through simulations that our reciprocity algorithms encourage cooperation in a P2PWNC system (where we assume that all peers are independent and selfish and that software and hardware modules can be tampered with). In addition, a P2PWNC system: (1) is open to all and allows participants to use Uncertified Public Keys as their identities, (2) is fully distributed, relying on a decentralized subsystem for storing transaction history, (3) uses standard hardware and software we developed for some of the main relevant platforms (Linux-based WLAN access points and Windows Mobile-based cell phones.More information can be found at http://mm.aueb.gr/research/P2PWNC/.This is joint work with (my now graduated Ph.D. student) Elias Efstathiou, (my current Ph.D. student) Pantelis Frangoudis, and the whole P2PWNC team. |

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.
