| Abstract | The maintenance of green areas is important for schools, parks, and recreational areas. But it places a heavy burden on both manpower and budget. In this paper, we apply ant colony optimization (ACO) to search for the minimum gardener manpower requirements and a near-optimal maintenance schedule for the green areas. Unlike other applications of ACO, we grouped the ants into teams to represent gardeners and considered the path of an ant team a schedule solution. We implemented the proposed model using a decision support system called the Garden-Ant. In addition, the feasibility of the model was evaluated on a campus. The results of the evaluation indicated that the proposed model could provide an appropriate maintenance plan, including manpower estimation and an all-inclusive maintenance schedule. Because the complicated calculations are performed by the model instead of by an administrator, the maintenance planning of green areas can be accomplished in an easy and efficient manner. |

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.
