| Abstract | Rapid advances in networking, hardware, and middleware technologies are facilitating the development and deployment of grid applications, which are characterized, by their very high computing and resource requirements. These applications and services have multiple, simultaneous end-to-end quality of service (QoS) requirements, such as delay guarantees, jitter guarantees, security, scalability, reliability and availability guarantees, and bandwidth and throughput guarantees. Moreover, these applications and services require secure, controlled, reliable, and guaranteed access to different types of resources, such as network bandwidth, computing power, and storage capabilities, available from multiple service providers. To support next-generation grid applications effectively, there is a need to simplify grid programming by developing a new grid middleware that raises the level of abstraction, and reduces the accidental complexities incurred, by programming at the grid infrastructure middleware level offered by existing grid middleware such as Globus, ICENI, and Legion. Moreover, the new grid middleware must ensure multiple end-to-end QoS properties simultaneously. The paper provides three contributions to the research on next generation grid middleware architecture that provides the above-mentioned properties. First, we describe how we are utilizing the standards-based CORBA distributed object computing and integration technology to design the next generation grid middleware, called Grid TAO (GriT) that complements and enhances existing low-level Grid middleware, such as Globus. Second, we describe how we are using the real-time, fault-tolerant, and data parallel CORBA features to implement GriT to provide the desired properties. Finally, we show how CORBA's platform and language independence features are used in GriT to resolve the portability and interoperability challenges faced, by current grid applications. |

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.
