| Abstract | The proposed architecture, called SymbioticSphere, consists of two major system components: application service and middleware platform. Each of them is modeled as a biological entity, analogous to an individual bee in a bee colony. They are designed to follow several biological principles such as decentralization, autonomy, emergence, redundancy, natural selection and symbiosis. An application service is implemented as an autonomous software agent. Each agent implements a functional service and follows biological behaviors such as migration, replication, death, energy exchange and environment sensing. A middleware platform runs on a network host and operates agents. Each platform provides a set of runtime services that agents use to perform their services and behaviors, and implements biological behaviors such as replication, death, energy exchange and environment sensing. The objectives of this study are to design and implement SymbioticSphere and evaluate the biologically-inspired mechanisms in SymbioticSphere in terms of autonomy, scalability, adaptability and survivability. Simulation results show that agents and platforms autonomously scale to network size and demand volume and adapt to dynamic changes in the network conditions (e.g., user locations, network traffic and resource availability). They also autonomously survive partial system failures such as host failures and link failures in order to retain their availability and performance |

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.
