International
Conference on Engineering Education and Research
iCEER-2004
CALL FOR PAPERS
With the
accelerated development of information technologies, there is an increasingly
wide range of ways of reaching students who are geographically dispersed, of
remotely accessing real laboratory equipment, of displaying and visualising
personalised distributed user interfaces and of running real time simulations
over computer networks. Sessions will cover research challenges in the
following areas: Instrumentation and control systems, Shared collaborative
learning environment architectures and their components, Communication
protocols, software, middleware, hardware, drivers, Application Programming
Interface (API) and devices used to access distributed laboratory environments
and equipment, Management policy, Mobile and location awareness systems, Heterogeneous wireless, satellite,
terrestrial networks
that make it possible to connect various geographically distributed
devices and human actors.
The
session committee particularly welcomes papers dealing with the technological
challenges regarding infrastructures supporting Online Laboratories (virtual or
simulation-based or remote laboratories accessing real devices) : 1) The
emergence of GRID-based laboratories; 2) Integration of laboratory
infrastructures and devices via ad hoc wireless or satellite/terrestrial
communication systems; 3) Remote control over noisy computer networks with
delays; 4) Norms and standards used or to consider in order to achieve the
overall goal of a World-wide Integrated Online Laboratory.
