Virtual and remote laboratories in process of control education

Abstract

This paper describes the progress in the development of virtual and remote laboratories at the Department of Information Engineering and Process Control, FCFT STU in Bratislava. This article is the overview of technical solutions used for online education purposes. These comprise software technologies, most commonly used in virtual and remote laboratory design at our department, such as MATLAB Web Server, Java, C/C++, and Adobe Flash. We have created virtual laboratories as online Web applications which provide features of mathematical computing and simulations of technological plants. We also describe the technology of remote control laboratory with a real experimental device.
