“…Previous work [14] focused on the fundamental design and development of a unified remote laboratory framework was designed. The subsequent iteration of the design resolved challenges of developing cross-browser and cross-device web user interface as an improvement to the unified framework [15].…”

“…Consequently, more and more remote laboratory software systems have selected to use the Browser-Server architecture technology. Examples include iLab [9], WebLab-Deusto [10], the Networked Control System Laboratory (NCSLab) [12], the improved NCSLab 3-D [13], the eComLab at UTSA [14] among others. In particular, the eComLab, which was designed and developed in the University of Texas at San Antonio, used SSH tunneling via HTTPS port 443 to address data transmission security while not being blocked by firewall.…”

Using Node-HTTP-Proxy for Remote Experiment Data Transmission Traversing Firewall

Abstract-In this paper, a novel real time experimental data transmission solution based on a new web server software architecture that allows the traversing of network firewalls is proposed. With this new software architecture, the public network port 80 can be shared between Node.js and the Apache web server software system. With this new solution, the Apache web server application still listens to the public network port 80, but any client requests for the Node.js web server application through the port will be forwarded to a special network port which Node.js web server application is listening to. Accordingly, a new solution in which both Apache and Node.js web server applications work together via HTTP proxy developed by the Node-HTTP-Proxy software package is implemented on the server-side. With this new real time experiment control and data transmission solution, the end user can control remote experiments and view experimental data on the web browser without firewall issues and without the need of third party plug-ins. It also provides a new approach for the remote experiment control and real time data transmission based on pure HTTP protocol. The solution will significantly benefit the development of remote laboratory technology.

Abstract-Laboratory is a key element of engineering and applied sciences educational systems. With the development of Internet and connecting IT technologies, the appearance of remote laboratories was inevitable. Virtual laboratories are also available; they place the experiment in a simulated environment. However, this writing focuses on remote experiments not virtual ones. From the students' point of view, it is a great help not only for those enrolling in distant or online courses but also for those studying in a more traditional way. With the spread of smart, portable devices capable of connection to the internet, students can expand or restructure time spent on studying. This is a huge help to them and also allows them to individually divide their time up, to learn how to self-study. This independent approach can prepare them for working environments. It offers flexibility and convenience to the students. From the universities' point of view, it helps reduce maintenance costs and universities can share experiments which also helps the not so well-resourced educational facilities.

“…Under a simplistic approach, collaboration is limited to the use of communication tools such as chat or video-conference applications. Other approaches go beyond by supporting the simultaneous interaction of several participants with the same lab [23], [37], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53]. This way, the proper VRL acts as the main communication medium among participants.…”

Web-based labs are key tools for distance education that help to illustrate scientific phenomena which require costly or difficult-to-assemble equipment. Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is an authoring tool that speeds up the creation of that kind of labs. An excellent proof of the EJS potential is the Open Source Physics (OSP) repository, which hosts hundreds of free EJS labs. Learning management systems, such as Moodle, provide social contexts where students interact with each other. The work described in this paper looks for the synergy of both tools, EJS and Moodle, by supporting the deployment of EJS labs into Moodle and thus enriching them with social features (e.g., chat, forums, videoconference, etc.). To test this approach, the authors have created the ball and beam lab, which helps students of automatic control engineering to train different advanced techniques (robust, fuzzy and reset control), and compare their performance in relation to a conventional proportional-integralderivative control.
