Abstract

This paper reports on the progress of work underway at the Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology at the University of Queensland to construct a new remote laboratories architecture based on contemporary and emerging web standards. The RESTlabs architecture uses the concept of self-describing APIs to provide discoverability of capabilities and the replacement of bespoke code with code generated from machine-readable designs. The prototype currently under development allows experiment services within the Lab Server to be generated from a design specification. This mirrors the existing capability in the RESTlabs client to generate an Experiment User Interface (UI) from a design specification retrieved from the Lab Server. Plans for an Experiment Service Designer as a component of the Lab Server, along similar lines to the Experiment UI Designer component in the RESTlabs client, are described. The schema for Experiment Service APIs is being conformed to specifications promoted by Google in the hope of leveraging a wider toolset into the Remote Labs arena and enabling workflows across multiple experiments and other services.

RESTlabs:用于远程实验室的web 2.0架构原型

本文报告了昆士兰大学教育创新与技术中心正在进行的工作进展，该中心基于当代和新兴的网络标准构建了一个新的远程实验室体系结构。RESTlabs架构使用自描述api的概念来提供功能的可发现性，并用机器可读设计生成的代码替换定制代码。目前正在开发的原型允许在实验室服务器内根据设计规范生成实验服务。这反映了RESTlabs客户端中现有的从从实验室服务器检索到的设计规范生成实验用户界面(UI)的功能。本文描述了实验服务设计器作为实验服务器组件的计划，与RESTlabs客户端的实验UI设计器组件类似。实验服务api的模式正在与Google提出的规范保持一致，以期在远程实验室领域利用更广泛的工具集，并支持跨多个实验和其他服务的工作流。
