Abstract | Software agents are a rapidly developing field of computer science. The need for software agents is felt in various applications and environments. It has therefore become essential to study agents with respect to the various environments in which they operate. MITR's CVW (collaborative virtual workspace) is a collaborative virtual environment where agents can be created and perform important tasks for the user. CVW is very suitable for programming agents especially as they interact with objects, users, and virtual locations. This paper focuses on three types of agents programmed in FCVW (federated CVW), our extension of CVW. These agents include observer, retriever, and garbage-collector agents. The observer's functions are to observe the behaviour of users, objects, and files. The retriever agent helps a user to find other users, objects and rooms within FCVW. The garbage-collector agent monitors files to inform the user about files on the basis of predefined dates. |

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.
