Development of a remote laboratory for engineering education / Ning Wang, Qianlong Lan, Xuemin Chen, Gangbing Song, and Hamid Parsaei.

"To address the needs of remote laboratory development for such purposes, the authors present a new state-of-the-art unified framework for RL system development. Included are solutions to commonly encountered RL implementation issues such as third-party plugin, traversing firewalls, cross platform, and scalability, etc. Additionally, the book introduces a new application architecture of remote lab for mobile-based RL application development for Mobile Learning (M-Learning). It also shows how to design and organize the remote experiments at different universities and make available a framework source code. The book is intended to serve as complete guide for remote lab system design and implementation for an audience comprised of researchers, practitioners and students to enable them to rapidly and flexibly implement RL systems for a range of fields"-- Provided by publisher.
