Abstract
IoT (Internet of Things) is the next generation of the Internet. The main goal of IoT is to connect each and every physical object to the Internet Cloud. This concept is introduced by bringing IoT technology to the laboratories, making expensive laboratory equipment available on-cloud for real-time experimentation. In this paper, an on CLP (Cloud Laboratory Platform) is presented by employing the concept of IoT to the academic experimentation environment. The CLP allows a rapid deployment of an online laboratory system enabling students and researchers to perform actual experiments on the on-Cloud laboratory equipment using a web interface. A web interface for end users to access front end of the system. This interface was developed for login purposes so that any user can perform experiments from anywhere. The interface also provides options for comments and feedback. Moreover, this research contribution also facilitate users to test their designs and record observations in real-time on the equipment. For demonstration purposes, a remote lab has been developed for high-tech Xilinx FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) development boards, namely Spartan-II and Spartan-III. This project aims to provide students a new tool to enhance their learning experience and encourage them to test their theoretical knowledge in practical applications.
Highlights
IoT (Internet of Things) is the generation of the Internet
Many students have to perform laboratory experiments at the same time on the same piece of equipment. This often leads to most of them left with little understanding of how the instruments are being operated and a handful which have the know-how, but not the practical experience. This results in them not being interested in the practical applications of what they have learnt in class, not producing any sort of meaningful output
A remote laboratory consists of a number of devices each of which are equipped with sensors, actuators, web camera and intermediate hardware for communication purposes
Summary
IoT (Internet of Things) is the generation of the Internet. The main goal of IoT is to connect each and every physical object to the Internet Cloud. A remote lab has been developed for high-tech Xilinx FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) development boards, namely Spartan-II and Spartan-III This project aims to provide students a new tool to enhance their learning experience and encourage them to test their theoretical knowledge in practical applications. This issue is unavoidable as many institutions are not properly funded or staffed they do not have the necessary resources to teach each and every student In these kinds of scenarios, the problems of simulation complexity and behavioral model accuracy always exist Another solution is to create remote laboratories or test-beds. Such remote laboratories can be made accessible around the clock and the world for researchers and students This way they can test their knowledge by performing non-simulated experiments on the hardware
