Remote operation and control of computer engineering laboratory experiments

Published: 17 June 2006 Publication History

Abstract

We present a lab-in-a-box, a metal case needing only power supply and network access, to provide a complete infrastructure to establish a microprocessor laboratory for embedded applications in computer engineering. The laboratory is used in distance teaching and thus all instruments and devices are controlled and observed via the net. Our focus is on flexibility to setup experiments, and on scheduling access to such a laboratory.
