| Abstract | App stores are one of the most popular ways of providing content to mobile device users today. But with thousands of competing apps and thousands new each day, the problem of presenting the developers' apps to users becomes nontrivial. There may be an app for everything, but if the user cannot find the app they desire, then the app store has failed. This paper investigates app store content organisation using AppEco, an Artificial Life model of mobile app ecosystems. In AppEco, developer agents build and upload apps to the app store; user agents browse the store and download the apps. This paper uses AppEco to investigate how best to organise the Top Apps Chart and New Apps Chart in Apple's iOS App Store. We study the effects of different app ranking algorithms for the Top Apps Chart and the frequency of updates of the New Apps Chart on the download-to-browse ratio. Results show that the effectiveness of the shop front is highly dependent on the speed at which content is updated. A slowly updated New Apps Chart will impact the effectiveness of the Top Apps Chart. A Top Apps Chart that measures success by including too much historical data will also detrimentally affect app downloads. |

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.
