After a short discussion of the GOLDi remote lab infrastructure, the new experiment control panel (ECP) and the integrated Graphical Interactive Finite State Machine toolset (GIFT) main focus of the paper is the interconnection of multiple remote labs (based on the GOLDi infrastructure) to a remote lab cloud. Within two running TEMPUS projects ten remote labs in four countries can be used worldwide. Based on this cloud structure it is necessary to adapt the complex GOLDi access control system. With this new reservation system possibilities for an effective worldwide experiment management will be available, which will be described in the article.
Abstract-At the Ilmenau University of Technology's "Integrated Communication Systems" Department a main teaching concept deals with the design of digital control systems. Different lectures from the 1st to the 8th semester are using Finite State Machines (FSM) as a specification technique to realize different design tasks. During undergraduate studies the basics of Finite State Machines and their usage within the design of digital control systems are taught. To conceptualize more complex digital systems, as required in higher courses, it is necessary to use powerful toolsets. One example of such a toolset is the GIFT (Graphical Interactive Finite State Machine Toolset) system, developed by the Integrated Communications System Group at the Ilmenau University of Technology. With this toolset we want to extent our remote lab GOLDi and implement new techniques for a web-based development system for Finite State Machines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
