The Role of the Internet in the Educational and Research Engineering Laboratories of Engineering Faculties

The World Wide Web has provided an opportunity for design and analysis of control systems through the Internet. An increasing number of Web-based software packages have been developed to enhance the teaching and design of control systems. Today, one of the most popular applications in control systems is remote laboratories. First, the concept and background information of the remote laboratory" are described. The two main parts, the simulation and the control of real systems, are explained in detail with the specific underlying methods and techniques. Finally, experiences and new approaches to actual and future development are given.
