“…Several developers of remotely operated labs have made similar observations. For example, Michau et al, [25] noted that, "…real-time video transmission of the experiment…combined with sound transmission is essential to the credibility of a remote experiment." 2.…”

Increasingly mechanical engineering departments are beginning to incorporate remotely operated laboratories into their laboratory curriculums. Yet very few studies exist detailing the extent to which this new medium for laboratory delivery fulfills the educational goals of traditional in‐person laboratories. This paper describes a comparison of educational outcomes between in‐person and remotely operated laboratories in the mechanical engineering curriculum. The study carried out in the 2001 Fall semester was performed using a remotely operated and an in‐person jet thrust laboratory. The laboratories illustrate the fundamentals of compressible fluid mechanics as part of an undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum. The results from this study indicated no significant difference in the educational outcomes between students who performed the in‐person or the remote experiment.

“…In addition, typical developers are writers, artists and organisations who wish to publish information on the Web and/or CD-ROM without the need to use programming languages such as Java. These applications have great potential in areas such as software engineering (Fielding and Taylor, 2000), literature (Tosca, 1999), education (Michau et al, 2001), and training (Ranwez et al, 2000).…”

Analogy-based estimation has, over the last 15 years, and particularly over the last 7 years, emerged as a promising approach with comparable accuracy to, or better than, algorithmic methods in some studies. In addition, it is potentially easier to understand and apply; these two important factors can contribute to the successful adoption of estimation methods within Web development companies. We believe therefore, analogy-based estimation should be examined further.This paper compares several methods of analogy-based effort estimation. In particular, it investigates the use of adaptation rules as a contributing factor to better estimation accuracy. Two datasets are used in the analysis; results show that the best predictions are obtained for the dataset that first, presents a continuous "cost" function, translated as a strong linear relationship between size and effort, and second, is more "unspoiled" in terms of outliers and collinearity. Only one of the two types of adaptation rules employed generated good predictions.
