Objective of the Book
Considering the involvement of multiple disciplines (software, hardware, computer interfacing, Web development, Web security, user interface, and learning management), the development process for an Internet accessible remote laboratory is complex. In the absence of any common framework, each development initiative starts from scratch, and there is difficulty in transferring and integrating technologies from one laboratory implementation to another. The proposed book is a timely effort to collect current developments in this area, as well as offer some suggestions for future direction, while providing a benchmark for the community. The editors will take every effort to gather contributions from all the major players in this field to foster wider collaboration within the community.
Target Audience
The book will provide vale value to both academics and researchers. In the academic area, it will be a useful resource for graduate and undergraduate level courses in electrical and computer engineering and computer science programs. The book will benefit researchers by providing an understanding of the current status of the field as well as a description of various approaches to remote laboratory design.
