| Abstract | Future IP-based Airborne Networks, important components in net-centric military communications, are envisioned to consist of a persistent backbone core network and dynamic tactical edge networks. The backbone would consist of quasi-stable platforms equipped with multiple high-capacity directional wireless links. The tactical edge networks would consist of highly dynamic platforms such as fighter jets equipped with omni-directional wireless links, and these would be interconnected by the backbone core network. Maintaining optimal backbone topology is an important problem with significant operational impact. Factors such as non-uniform link capacities, the number of traffic sources and sinks, and connectivity complicate the problem. The solution consists of making optimal selection of the link directionality and the possible insertion of communication relay nodes. We approach the solution by abstracting the network as a template from which to select the optimal combination of edges (transmitter-receiver pairs) and nodes (relays). Through innovative graph and flow-theoretic reductions we show that the single sink (or alternatively single source) case can be solved in polynomial time for uniform backbone link capacities. In contrast, we prove not only that the problem is NP-complete for non-uniform backbone link capacities but that the non-uniform case of the problem is hard to approximate to within even a logarithmic factor. Nevertheless we present a scheme based on iterative rounding that scales well in practice. Simulations demonstrate that our algorithm achieves a performance within a factor 2 of the theoretical best. This allows us to conclude that the use of algorithmic techniques in configuring backbone networks can contribute significantly in improving network performance. |

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.
