Abstract :
A new remote laboratory system for hardware experiment has been developed. It employs shared resources and enhanced service management scheme based on the Web services. Wide spread use of the Internet and broadband remote network access capability to the home, motivated us to develop a seamless remote and actual hardware laboratory for hardware design laboratory course. The combinatorial use of FPGA/PC connected test hardware and PC-based measurement equipments such as logic analyzer or pattern generator has make it possible to develop a remote multi-user time-sharing hardware experiment system, where students can perform actual experiments using actual hardware equipments and tools concurrently. The Web-services-based course material distribution, course guidance and report collection system are also developed to realize the remote-laboratory self e-learning system
