A world wide web based architecture for the implementation of a virtual laboratory

摘要

The World Wide Web (WWW) has given to the universities the opportunity to create a virtual laboratory based in remote controlled instrumentation. The solution proposed in this paper allows remote access to equipment, in such a way that hardly differentiates from using the same equipment when accomplishing real device measurements at laboratory. An improved architecture simplifies the implementation of a Virtual Laboratory and it allows a more versatile and efficient environment aimed to reach distance learning.
