| Abstract | In the recent years, mobile cloud computing became a vivid topic. On the one hand, the resources of cell phones are rapidly growing, which allow them to solve more and more computationally demanding tasks. On the other hand, cell phones are indeed portable: basically, we can assume that all human beings will be equipped by one. Thus, a scenario aiming to organize these devices into a local supercomputer to further improve computational performance is completely realistic. This paper aims to introduce a framework, which is able to control and schedule distributed processing by cell phones and tablets to solve complex tasks, when an Internet connection is not available. The communication protocol is based on Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to take advantage of its platform independence. We investigate whether XMPP is suitable for such mobile applications, and show how our general framework can form a basis to solve specific tasks by a distributed cell phone network. We introduce some measures based on the available resources of the individual devices which let the scheduler to assign the subtasks accordingly. For demonstration, we consider medical image analysis problems, where retinal/dermatoscopy images acquired by mobile phones are processed by a local mobile network. |

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.
