Abstract

With the development of Remote Laboratory Management Systems, toolkits and software frameworks that streamline development, deployment and management of Online Laboratories it is possible to observe trends towards a systematisation of the different components necessary to deliver online experimentation to students and pupils. The Go-Lab platform and its services for lab owners, such as the smart device and smart gateway are examples of frameworks that simplify the plug and share of remote laboratories. However, the lab owner is still responsible for provisioning the IT resources necessary to deliver the remote labs. This work proposes a framework that can simplify even more the deployment of labs, contributing for a more ubiquitous delivery of these systems, since it minimises the requirements posed to lab owners to connect an equipment to the Internet. This approach if fully compatible with the Smart Device specification of Go-Lab, since it proposes a new layer of abstraction for lab owners. Additionally, as a result of these minimised requirements, Online Laboratory installations can run on single-board computers, such as a Raspberry Pi, what ultimately contribute to a more ubiquitous deployment of remote experimentation. This paper will describe how a software framework called Experiment Dispatcher developed to simplify the development and deployment of Online Laboratories facilitates the ubiquitous deployment of these systems.

支持无处不在的在线实验室交付的软件体系结构

随着远程实验室管理系统、工具包和软件框架的发展，简化了在线实验室的开发、部署和管理，有可能观察到向学生和学生提供在线实验所需的不同组件的系统化趋势。Go-Lab平台及其为实验室所有者提供的服务，如智能设备和智能网关，是简化远程实验室接入和共享的框架示例。然而，实验室所有者仍然负责提供交付远程实验室所需的IT资源。这项工作提出了一个框架，可以进一步简化实验室的部署，有助于这些系统的更普遍的交付，因为它最大限度地减少了实验室所有者将设备连接到互联网的要求。这种方法与Go-Lab的智能设备规范完全兼容，因为它为实验室所有者提出了一个新的抽象层。此外，由于这些最小化的要求，在线实验室安装可以在单板计算机上运行，例如树莓派，最终有助于远程实验的更普遍部署。本文将描述一个名为实验调度器的软件框架是如何开发的，以简化在线实验室的开发和部署，从而促进这些系统的普遍部署。
