| Abstract | A variety of portable and wearable device form factors such as the VisionPad, WatchPad, WearableData, MetaPad, Personal Mobile Hub, and SoulPad have been prototyped at IBM Research over the last several years. Each of different form factors has some unique advantages and addresses different user needs. This talk will present experiences in building these prototypes and describe how this landscape of devices is expected to change. The continuous availability of wearable and mobile devices enables the deployment of many novel applications and scenarios but places heavy demands on energy, infrastructure support, and usability. Recently how some of the inherent limitations of mobile devices can be alleviated by symbiosis with more powerful stationary devices has been investigated. Effective device symbiosis requires middleware that addresses device heterogeneity, improves usability, provides privacy and ensures security. The availability of a variety of new form factors coupled with device symbiosis will catalyze the way business was conducted, entertain and take care of ourselves. |

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.
