| Abstract | Algorithmic behavior-based control architectures usually suffer from rigidity in the network structure which makes fault-tolerance an important issue when it comes to distributed hardware implementations. We are extending here the basic cell model for the example case of a peripheral navigation system that needs to demonstrate such plasticity in the sense of tolerance to hardware failures. This biologically-inspired extension consists in equipping each one of the cells with multiple motivations to process/consume different kinds of messages and in cancelling the rigid connections between levels so that cells of one level will compete for the consumption of the messages coming in from the previous level. Individual cell "motivations" are expressed as continuous variables that are excited by certain identification values of the incoming messages, thus as eigenfrequencies. Simulation results indicate that the cellular network self-organizes in case of failures by "discovering" alternative message flow pathways and that multiple failures slow down the system's responsiveness to external events, since intermediate level cells are not specialized to one message type but distribute their processing time among different motivations. The presence of an additional developmental/ontogenetical factor allows for self-organization even in the case of major failures in the network, i.e. when a particular eigenfrequency disappears completely from the system. |

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.
