Evolving towards better architectures for remote laboratories: a practical case

Traditionally, the focus on WebLab design has been placed on the hardware side and the communication link between the controlling PC (WebLab server) and the hardware prototype. Little attention has been paid to the other communication segment going from the WebLab server to the remote users’ PCs, since this has been regarded as a “solved software problem
