Abstract

The achievements in Internet and communication technology make remote learning and online laboratory possible in the last few decades, which not only provides opportunities for people in rural areas in developing countries, but also offer simple alternatives for those who already have access to educational resources. With the evolution of Web technologies, it is relatively easy to facilitate laboratory deployments, thus, more and more different online laboratories emerge. However, Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML5) and related standards (e.g. WebGL, CSS3) which are future trends and provide full-featured environment are rare so far. In this paper, a new HTML5 version of Networked Control System Laboratory (NCSLab) which has been developing for over 10 years since 2006, is introduced. The 3D version of NCSLab has been developing for almost 5 years in Wuhan University (WHU), whose rendering solution is changed from Flash 3D engine to HTML5. Therefore, Flash player plug-in is no more needed. User can login the system to perform experiments with better user experience since most Web browsers are compatible with HTML5.

使用HTML5部署基于web的控制实验室

近几十年来，互联网和通信技术的成就使远程学习和在线实验室成为可能，这不仅为发展中国家农村地区的人们提供了机会，也为那些已经获得教育资源的人提供了简单的选择。随着Web技术的发展，实验室的部署相对容易，因此出现了越来越多不同的在线实验室。然而，超文本标记语言(HTML5)和相关标准(如WebGL, CSS3)是未来的趋势，提供全功能的环境，目前还很少。本文介绍了网络控制系统实验室(Networked Control System Laboratory, NCSLab)的HTML5新版本，该版本自2006年开发至今已有10多年的历史。《NCSLab》的3D版本在武汉大学(WHU)已经开发了近5年，其渲染解决方案从Flash 3D引擎改为HTML5。因此，不再需要Flash播放器插件。由于大多数Web浏览器都兼容HTML5，用户可以登录系统进行实验，获得更好的用户体验。
