| Abstract | Network architecture based on opportunistic Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is best applicable for post-disaster scenarios, where the controlling point of relief work is any fixed point like a local school building or a hospital, whose location is known to everyone. In this work, 4-tier network architecture for post-disaster relief and situation analysis is proposed. The disaster struck area has been divided into clusters known as Shelter Points (SP). The architecture consists of mobile Relief Workers (RW) at tier 1, Throw boxes (TB) at tier 2 placed at fixed locations within SPs. Data Mules (DM) like vehicles, boats, etc. operate at tier 3 that provide inter-SP connectivity. Master Control Station (MCS) is placed at tier 4. The RWs are provided with smart-phones that act as mobile nodes. The mobile nodes collect information from the disaster incident area and send that information to the TB of its SP, using DTN as the communication technology. The messages are then forwarded to the MCS via the DMs. Based on this architecture, a novel DTN routing protocol is proposed. The routing strategy works by tracking recent direction of movement of mobile nodes by measuring their consecutive distances from the destination at two different instants. If any node moves away from the destination, then it is very unlikely to carry its messages towards the destination. For a node, the fittest node among all its neighbours is selected as the next hop. The fittest node is selected using parameters like past history of successful delivery and delivery latency, current direction of movement and node’s recent proximity to the destination. Issues related to routing such as fitness of a node for message delivery, buffer management, packet drop and node energy have been considered. The routing protocol has been implemented in the Opportunistic Networks Environment (ONE) simulator with customized mobility models. It is compared with existing standard DTN routing protocols for efficiency. It is found to reduce message delivery latency and improve message delivery ratio by incurring a small overhead . |

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.
