| Abstract | Building software-based tools for the analysis and design of large-scale, wide area communication networks requires more than a judicial application of graph theory, optimization and queueing; it requires an effective "systems engineered" approach to managing real-world constraints and change throughout the life-cycle of competing networking technologies. This talk will examine the role of theory, realism, and process in roughly ten years work by the author and colleagues in developing tools for modeling, analysis, design of wide area networks. Starting with the philosophical and methodological underpinnings of the work, the talk will: ~ describe a range of real-world network analysis and design scenarios that arise in the life cycles of these networks, ~ characterize various design problems associated with these scenarios, ~ trace the development and continued evolution of a collection of tools for addressing the design problems, and ~ illustrate some new scenarios (e.g., ATM) driving current research. Of particular emphasis throughout this work is a philosophical bent towards realistic problem formulations and solution techniques which rapidly yield implementable results for large backbone networks employing distributed, adaptive routing. A principal product of the this research is a large scale software system known as M11DAS (Mod ular Information Infrastructure Design and Analysis System). M11DAS (and its UVa-developed ancestor, DESI) is used by the Center for Engineering, Defense Information Systems Agency as its principal data backbone design and analysis tool and is one of the key tools used in supporting planning for DISA's Defense Information System Network architecture. Recently, the tool has also been adapted under FAA sponsorship through MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) to support analysis and design of the FAA's NADIN 11 network. |

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.
