Abstract | Context is information that describes the situations in which computing, social and physical interactions take place. The complexity and scope of context information available for utilization by context-consuming applications, such as those executing on smart mobile devices, sensing and tracking platforms, etc. is growing with the increased integration of digital artifacts in smart environments. Similarly, the uptake of Cloud computing has significantly influenced the traditional information processing and infrastructure provision models by offering an agile, scalable and cost effective computing paradigm. This is leading to the adoption of Cloud-based solutions for the pervasive and ubiquitous environments, however, there are significant challenges that need to be overcome before its exploitation by real world applications and users. The context information consumed and produced by the applications and devices needs to be represented, disseminated, processed and consumed by numerous components in a context-aware Cloud system. Significant amount of context consumption, production and processing takes place on devices and there is limited or no support for collaborative modeling, persistence and processing between the device-Cloud ecosystems. In this paper we propose an environment for context processing in a Cloud-based distributed infrastructure that offloads complex context processing from the applications and devices. An experimental analysis of complexity based context-processing categories has been carried out to establish the processing-load boundary. The results demonstrate that the proposed collaborative device-Cloud infrastructure provides significant performance and energy conservation benefits for mobile devices and applications. |

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.
