| Abstract | Professor Karlheinz Meier of the University of Heidelburg explained at the recent International Electronics Forum organised by Future Horizons: "Computers are fast and reliable but they need software and are fault sensitive. The brain is slow and unreliable but it is fault tolerant and energy efficient. It also has the advantage of being able to work software out for itself. "Eventually designs based on the brain are likely to be very attractive for future technologies because they can use unreliable elements," Meier adds. Meier sees a further split in the Human Brain Project between Europe and US in terms of focus. The US he sees as being more focused on understanding the neuroscience, with the simulations used to help drive medical research as much as computing. "Ours is more directed at computing architectures. It has a large neuroscience component," he says, "but it is about designing new computer architectures. |

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.
