Abstract | There is a strong push of public authorities and industries toward the realization of “Smart Cities” (e.g., see the EU Future Internet initiative) and of “Planet-wide Sensing Environments” (e.g., see the EU FuturICT flagship proposal), where a huge number of (mobile) heterogeneous devices should interwork to enable several types of dynamically adaptive and pervasive applications. It starts to be manifest that smart applications for urban-wide (and larger) deployment scenarios require facing the hard technical challenge of scalability. This position paper capitalizes the experiences made in our recent research activities about innovative models, algorithms, and middleware prototypes for scalability in smart cities. Based on that, it tries to identify major technical challenges still open in the field of scalability for pervasive computing and major related solution trends; we think that these solution guidelines should be addressed with relevant investments and research efforts in the years to come. In particular, we claim that a very relevant guideline is to reduce the complexity of the potential space of collaboration opportunities via middleware solutions that proactively determine active context sub-spaces. Preliminary encouraging results in the fields of urban monitoring via vehicular sensor networks (MobEyes), of opportunistic Internet connectivity sharing (RAMP), and within the EU SOFIA project for interoperable smart environments will be rapidly overviewed and discussed in this position paper and in the associated invited speech; the interested reader is referred to other papers in the literature for more in-depth technical descriptions of the already investigated solutions. |

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.
