| Abstract | We envision a future where real-time computation on the battlefield provides the tactical advantage to an Army over its adversary. The ability to collect and process large amounts of data to provide actionable information to soldiers will greatly enhance their situational awareness. Our vision is based on the observation that the U.S. Military is attempting to equip soldiers with smartphones. While individual phones may not be sufficiently powerful for processing large amount of data, using the mobile devices carried by a squad or platoon of Soldiers as a single distributed computing platform, a Tactical Cloud, would enable large-scale data processing to be conducted in battlefields. In order for this vision to be realized, two issues have to be addressed. The first is the complexity of writing applications for distributed computing environments, and the second is the vulnerability of data on mobile devices. In this paper, we propose combining two existing technologies to address these issues. The first is Hadoop MapReduce, a scalable platform that provides distributed storage and computational capabilities on clusters of commodity hardware, and the second is the Mobile Distributed File System (MDFS) which allows distributed data storage with built-in reliability and security. By making the MDFS file system work with Hadoop on mobile devices, we hope to enable big data applications on tactical clouds. |

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.
