| Abstract | Improving the interaction experience between humans and computers is a major research challenge and one of the most promising new modes of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is via haptic devices which provide users with the sense of touch while interacting with computer systems. Two or more users may interact with each other and exchange the sense of touch by using Distributed Haptic Virtual Environments (DHVEs). In these systems, the quality of the touch sense is degraded by impairments in packet switched networks (packet delay, loss and jitter). Recent research has established that the Quality of Service (QoS) required to support haptic traffic is significantly different from that required to support conventional real-time traffic such as voice or video. To date most research into distributed haptics has considered only haptic devices with a single point of contact, however the enhanced experience provided by multiple contact point devices means that future DHVEs are likely to employ these devices. The research presented here extends this work to consider the more complex traffic produced by haptic devices with multiple contact points, whenever interacting remotely with virtual environments. Such devices produce a rich mixture of different traffic streams that are interdependent but also characterised by the interactions of the individual users. This study describes experiments designed to evaluate the performance of multi-contact point haptic devices and demonstrates that the use of a traffic engineering approach, Class Based Weighted Fair Queue (CBWFQ), can be used to improve the QoS experienced by this type of haptic traffic. |

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.
