| Abstract | Mobile commerce (m-commerce) refers to the conduct of business using wireless devices and communications. Driven by the success of e-commerce and impressive progress in wireless technologies, m-commerce is rapidly taking place in the business forefront. However, most of the concepts developed for e-commerce may not be easily applicable to wireless environments. This is due to the peculiarities of these environments such as limited bandwidth, unbalanced client-server communication, and limited power supply. Web services are undeniably one of the most significant e-commerce concepts worth of being adapted to the wireless world. Mobile services, also called m-services, promise several benefits compared with their wired counterparts. They provide larger customer base and cater for "anytime and anywhere" access to services. In this paper, we propose an infrastructure for organizing and efficiently accessing m-services in broadcast environments. We define a multichannel model to carry information about m-services available within a given geographic area. The UDDI channel includes registry information about m-services. The m-service channel contains the description and executable code of each m-service. The data channel contains the actual data needed while executing the m-service. We also introduce three techniques to enable efficient access to wireless channels. These techniques extend well-known mobile databases' access methods to m-services: B+ tree, signature indexing, and hashing. We finally present an analytical model and conduct an extensive experimental study to evaluate and compare the proposed techniques. |

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.
