Abstract :
Aiming at the characteristics of distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous virtual laboratory, a P2P-based collaborative framework for dynamic virtual laboratory (called by CF-VLab) was proposed. We introduced a novel P2P network model for virtual laboratories and deployment model of virtual laboratory in P2P computing environment. In CF-VLab, virtual experiment resource was encapsulated as reusable standardized service, and a kind of LOM application profile was designed to describe service as e-learning object. The virtual laboratory developed based on CF-VLab became loose coupling and easily reconfigurable due to the application of service-oriented architecture. With the supports of common services, CF-VLab can meet the requirements from remote experiment teaching for multidisciplinary curriculum, and it can provide new ideas for research on collaborative virtual laboratory in Internet.
