| Abstract | Government agencies ranging from the Department of Homeland Security to local municipalities recognize the need for disaster preparedness, response and recovery training and experimentation capabilities. Simulation based systems for training and experimentation provide the complexity required to deliver effective exercises. Unfortunately the availability of such systems for the HLS domain is limited. The ability to federate authoritative models from the homeland security domain with constructive simulation models from the Department of Defense (DoD) domain will be crucial in delivering robust training and experimentation services in a time and cost effective manner. We have developed such a federation between the Lockheed Martin Incident Management Simulation (LMIS) and authoritative models such as the FEMA HAZUS-MH and Sandia National Laboratories Weapons of Mass Destruction Decision Analysis Center (WMDDAC). LMIS is a simulation-based exercise and training capability, derived from DoD simulations, that models population dynamics, infrastructure, supply chains, supply consumption, and response & recovery actions. HAZUS-MH is a risk assessment tool used for analyzing potential loss due to natural disasters. WMDDAC provides simulation models for detailed chemical and bio-hazard threat, detection, response and treatment for civilian and military populations contained in a specified municipal region. Federation of HAZUS-MH, WMDDAC and LMIS provides a robust and realistic disaster preparedness, response and recovery exercise and training capability based on results from authoritative, calibrated and validated disaster models. This paper presents the approach we have for this federation. The focus of the paper will be on the intersection of the constructive simulation and federal disaster modeling domains and the benefits of this approach |

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.
