Scientific papers

From eInstrumentation

More papers about others aspects of our work are under a review process at the moment, especially about the platform, collaborativeness, and study of the use of our solution in our virtual university.

• ENTCS (International Journal)

  Deals with the first architecture supporting eInstrumentation, based on web services and orchestration, in order to provide collaborativeness, and a unit responsible for moderation and adaptation of remote labs. This archicture is no longer in use.

C. Gravier, J. Fayolle , "A Composite Web Service supporting User Context to provide an Adapted Remote Control of High Technological Instruments ", Elsevier Electronic Notes on Theoretical Computer Science , vol. 146, N° 1, pp. 17-32, july 2005




• J3eA EEA (French National Journal)

  About pedagogical aspects involved in the fact that the laboratory is remote (we have to adapt the learning session according to potential network issue, or the fact that students may face only one remote device for every one).

• ICEIS'06 (International Conference)

  This paper focuses on the need for remote laboratories to provide learning experiences as close as possible to the reality of use of the remote appliance. It also provide solutions for such implementation, using multimedia features. This is for feelings like seeing (GUI close to reality), hearing (reproducing background sounds, error sounds, ...), touching (touchscreens, button resistance, ...).

• ICELIE'06 (International Conference)

  Distance learning already has standards for learning objects (Scorm, learning design, ...) and platforms (LCMS: Learning Content Management Systems). Those platforms are mostly designed for distance lectures. They were not, however, designed for remote laboratories. The marriage of LCMS and remote labs are for us a major challenge for distance learning, in order to provide adaptative learning in remote hands-on sessions, as well as aided assessments for teachers (based on the path a learner follows in a given learning scenario).
