Many educational institutions acknowledged the importance of providing online-access to student laboratories. To optimize the use of the scarce and expensive resources such laboratories depend on, it is advisable to establish and setup a booking system that helps to administer access to them. This paper reports on the architecture and conceptual model of the rig booking system designed for the LiLa Portal, a web portal that makes virtual and remote experiments available on the Internet. The design of the booking system is based on a requirements analysis carried out by the EC funded LiLa project in cooperation with international partners from the Global Online Lab Consortium, GoLC.
