The VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) SIG (Special
Interest Group) is organized for people who are interested in Online
Engineering especially in opening university laboratories for remote
access 24/7. Spending more time in the laboratory your students
will become true experimenters being able to design goods and services
complying with the requirements of a sustainable society.
The VISIR project was launched in order to disseminate methods for
opening laboratories for remote access. Please, visit http://openlabs.bth.se/
for more
information. In the VISIR SIG we see possibilities of sharing ideas,
equipment and learning material as well as discussing the further
development of the VISIR Open Lab Platform. Examples of projects
of immediate interest are VISIR iLabs integration, sharing of lab
exercises, elaboration of a joint VISIR network, LXI hardware
integration. A goal is standardized online workbenches located at
universities around the globe constituting grid laboratories available
for lab sessions for students on campus and off campus.
