Easy Remote ISES Development Environment for Remote Experiments

Abstract

This paper presents the building of remote e-laboratories based on the physical software ISES (Internet School Experimental System), and presents the new environment – the EASY REMOTE ISES - for the plug and play compiling of the control program and communicating web page without the need for programming. The control system of ISES for remote experiments is an invariable finite-state machine for which the control file and corresponding web page are built for the particular experiment using a screen questionnaire similar to expert systems. The system responds to the wide shift of interest in remote experimentation especially in schools and universities, in order to help disseminate e-laboratories to a wider population.
