| Abstract | Mobile tactical MANETs are subject to periods of intermittent connectivity and transient events of significant packet loss. Because of such disruptions, protocols and technologies have been proposed that are disruption and delay tolerant. One class of such systems works by storing messages/packets in the network. If connectivity to neighbors is lost, missing messages may be delivered when connectivity to neighbors is restored. This delay tolerant networking (DTN) technology aims to reliably deliver all the data that a source directs towards a receiver node. We suggest that in some cases it is of little utility and may even be counter-productive to persist and deliver all packets lost during a disruption episode. For example, in situational awareness applications, retransmitting many seconds or minutes of lost GPS tracks is not appropriate. Instead a snapshot of the current position of all tracked entities is preferable. Similarly in a multimedia stream or VOIP call, just the key missing information should be replayed. Not only does full retransmission of all missing packets introduce delays during retransmission, but also the bandwidth consumed during retransmission is wasted. Note that each application may have different semantics. Therefore determining what data is appropriate to deliver for a given application in order to recover from a temporary disconnection requires knowledge of the application semantics. In previous work, we proposed Heterogeneous Intelligent Filtering (HIF), a technology that intelligently filters and transforms data to match network capacity and end-user capability. In HIF, extraneous information not needed by the end-user is filtered by HIF agents. In this $work^{2},$ we show how the HIF concept can be extended to the data and information persisted during disruptions. The information stored for later retransmission to previously disconnected receivers may consist of application state snapshots, summaries or transcripts of the missing data, or just those portions of a media stream judged to be relevant to the user at a given point in time. We describe our work on application aware persistence for real-time multimedia and tactical situational awareness applications. The middleware infrastructure of the HIF systems reported on in previous work is extended to support application aware persistence. We analyze the performance benefit of application persistence on a tactical situational awareness scenario. Application persistence is particularly useful when the end-device may be limited in its processing power and ability to render data, since it reduces the demands on the client application. Accordingly, we also illustrate the usefulness of our application aware persistence middleware in supporting multimedia and situational awareness applications implemented on handheld Android devices. |

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.
