| Abstract | In the future, computer networks will consist of multiple personal computing devices connected by wired and wireless links. The system will operate in a peer-to-peer mode, allowing the network of computers to act as one large server, providing information to each node as needed. In addition, the computers will be mobile, connecting and disconnecting from networks at will, to meet the needs of the user. Because wireless links will be prevalent, users will be able to compute while on the move, increasing the utility and complexity of the information network. These mobile, wireless network characteristics add many dynamic aspects that can be addressed by object-oriented, knowledge-based, and simulation methods. Software engineering currently is composed of several detached activities consisting of requirements analysis, design, implementation, and test. These activities are performed and documented in segments with little automatic flowthrough,of information. This segmented approach impedes the progress to a working understandable system. As the software changes during implementation and test, even the best efforts fail to keep the documentation up-to-date. In the end, the product is difficult to maintain and impossible to understand. This manual process of software engineering must be changed to automate repetitive tasks and to remove opportunities for human error. A wireless, mobile networks application is used to illustrate the improvements in the process that will lead to an effective implementation of such complicated distributed systems. |

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.
