| Abstract | In this article, we introduce activity-aware computing, which uses activity-based computing to enhance pervasive environments in two ways: to help users associate resources and services with activities, resulting in seamless interaction with those resources and services, and to enable pervasive environments to automatically infer activities and thus opportunistically offer services that support the user's current goal. Thus, activity-aware applications persuade users to commit themselves to the technology, moving from a paradigm of activity-based ";interaction"; toward one of activity-aware ";engagement"; with a computationally augmented environment. We present a set of tools for developing activity-aware applications, including a computational representation of human activities that we defined using data from a hospital case study we conducted. We also used the data to create an activity recognition approach and a set of design principles for developing activity-aware applications. The mobile activity monitor we designed to create a wearable connection between patients and nurses exemplifies our design principles. |

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.
