| Abstract | In a recent research collaboration with the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, we investigate the best ways that mobile devices can aid in applying pesticides. Farmers require different pesticides for different crops and at every stage in the development cycle of the crops. Our work presents MobiCrop, which is a mobile app that is deployed to aid farmers with timely decision making on the application of pesticides (i.e., which pesticide to apply, when, where, and how to apply them). MobiCrop is not a standalone mobile app but, a three-tier distributed application with a cloud-hosted backend middleware and a web server. This is to ensure consistent state of services in a single update to the many geographically dispersed mobile users (farmers). The deployment of the middleware layer is to aid mobile updates synchronization in an optimal time based on policies. We further implement a caching technique on the mobile device in order to facilitate seamless access to the data in situations where there is no connectivity. The work also details the preliminary results of the evaluation of MobiCrop which is promising. |

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.
