Remote Controlling of Automated Systems Based on Client – Server Architecture

摘要

The fast technological changes and the resulting shifts of market conditions require the development and use of educational methodologies and opportunities with moderate economic demands. Today, distance education is primarily performed through the Internet, which is the biggest and most powerful computer network. For teachers and instructors offers an ideal novel way for distance teaching and learning, creation of classroom pages, and a suitable medium for developing remote virtual laboratories and remotely controlling physical plants and experiments. In distance education programs the traditional face-to face teacher communication and interaction are replaced by technological tools (i.e., voice, video, data print, and multimedia). In the area of control and robotic engineering education we have today available the important results of several efforts toward the development of interactive web based platforms that provide e-course material with on-line theoretical and laboratory exercises, course management, virtual classes etc., as well as virtual (simulation) laboratories and Web-based remote physical laboratories.
