Abstract
Objective of the Book:
 Considering the involvement of multiple disciplines (software, hardware, computer interfacing, Web development, Web security, user interface, and learning management), the development process for an Internet accessible remote laboratory is complex. In the absence of any common framework, each development initiative starts from scratch and there is difficulty in transferring and integrating technologies from one laboratory implementation to another. The proposed book is a timely effort to collect current developments in this area, as well as offer some suggestions for future direction, while providing a benchmark for the community. The editors will take every effort to gather contributions from all the major players in this field to foster wider collaboration within the community.
Highlights
Limited resources and other factors pose major challenges for engineering, technology, and science educators’ ability to provide adequate laboratory experience for students at a time and place of their convenience
Too much laboratory equipment lies idle during most of its usable lifetime. This applies to both traditional laboratory courses as well as laboratory courses as part of distance learning programs
An Internet accessible remote laboratory is an arrangement in which physical laboratory equipment is controlled remotely from a distant location over the Internet
