| Abstract | In mobile, component-based, distributed systems, computing environments utilize software components on an ad hoc, as-needed basis. In such systems, software components must register and announce not only their presence but also their functionality while client components must express their needs for these other components. The binding machinery should intelligently match clients to candidates. Finally, human users of high-level services -- whose underlying components are invisibly involved in such maneuverings -- need a way to have their preferences recorded and leveraged. The current art, such as implementations of OSGi, addresses these issues in a way that is unsatisfactory. In particular, when a wider number of component-based mobile systems will need to inter-work, and when mobile devices are "labeled" with dynamic geo-spatial attributes that should be leveraged during binding, the current art is insufficient. This paper describes an ontology and an application that together enable much richer component registrations, queries, and bindings. It also describes a novel visual application that makes the specification of geo-spatial binding preferences more accessible to end-users. Two implemented and related Lab scenarios are also presented. |

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.
