Multifunctional remote laboratories for real experiments, engineering processes, and manufacturing methods

Abstract

This paper describes the efficient structures of various multifunctional remote laboratories for real experiments, engineering processes, and manufacturing methods. Some theoretical problems concerning functional completeness, universality, flexibility, and programmability of such remote laboratories and facilities are discussed in the framework of a new interdisciplinary scientific approach called general formal technology (GFT). GFT is a branch of general system theory (GST). It correlates with Alexander Bogdanov's Tektology and can be used to investigate formal algorithmic and physical system structures for the synthesis and analysis of various objects.
