| Abstract | An experimental workflow system is controlled so that its performance may be brought into line with strategic goals. This system is based on a single intelligent agent that manages the workflows. This single component represents both organisational rules and cultural factors, as well as the state of the decision making environment. This experimental system manages the processing of applications received by a university department from potential research students. This workflow involves decision making by the majority of its users. These decisions are recorded together with a confidence factor in that decision. These confidence factors are combined to give an overall confidence to the end product of a workflow that is either "accept the applicant" or "reject the applicant". The performance of the system is brought into line with strategic goals by adjusting the thresholds for the confidence values. Overall performance measures include the quality of processing and the cost of processing. This particular application was selected because it involves decision making in a range of different types of interaction with the players that interact with the system. This experimental system uses no physical documents. Interactive documents are available on the World Wide Web; 'read only' documents are sent by electronic mail. Principles for designing intelligent workflow systems have emerged from this experiment. As a result of this experiment a second version of this intelligent workflow system is being constructed in a distributed, multi-agent environment. Workflow systems admit considerable flexibility in the formation of decision making structures including structures that cannot be realised in traditional systems. |

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.
