An IEEE1451.0-compliant FPGA-based reconfigurable weblab
Tese de doutoramento do Programa de Doutoramento em Ciências e Tecnologias da Informação, apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra ; Technology evolution is contributing for a sustainable change in engineering education. New resources and tools are continuously improving the teaching and learning processes, providing more pathways to both students and teachers for accessing better educational contents. In engineering courses, the experimental work, typically supported by traditional laboratories, is also encompassing technology evolution as denoted by the appearance of the so-called weblabs or remote laboratories. This type of laboratories allows both students and teachers to remotely access physical experiments enabling the control of laboratory equipment through a simple device connected to the Internet (e.g. a PC). Besides the provided flexibility (e.g. access to a real laboratory on a 24x7 basis) other advantages may be enumerated, such as the increase on students‟ motivation and the cost reductions for all the involved actors in the teaching and learning process (e.g. students, teachers, institutions, etc.). However, current weblabs‟ architectures and their underlying infrastructures follow specific and distinct technical implementations, i.e. there is no standard solution. Moreover, they are not able to be reconfigured with different instruments and modules, known as weblab modules. Whenever required in a traditional laboratory, these modules can be attached to the target experiments, provided that they are available in the laboratory facilities. Some weblabs‟ implementations allow setting up connections between the target experiments and the weblab modules provided in the infrastructure, but these modules cannot be changed or replicated, i.e. the flexibility for changing the layout and the modules used in a particular weblab infrastructure is very reduced. Therefore, the lack of a standard access and design of weblabs, and the reduced flexibility for changing the ...
