- Design state exploration applied to the development of a remote lab for projectile launch experimentsPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria A.; Paiva, Carlos; Nogueira, Pedro; Guimarães, P. S.; Couto, Ruben; Cherem, Laryssa; Borba, Vitor; Ferreira, Golberi; Koch, Stefan; Pester, AndreasThis paper describes the application of Design State Exploration techniques in the development of a remote lab for projectile motion experiments. The application was enabled by the existence of two independent teams: one composed of a series of internships that started first and another with two grantees that started a few months later. The paper presents evidence on how this approach provided gains in the development process conducted by the second team that benefited from design state exploration studies performed by the first team. This particular aspect is highlighted in relation to the work already presented in the 10th Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV) conference.

The main objective of the VISIR+ Project is to extend the current VISIR net- work in South America, mainly in Argentina and Brazil, with the support and patronage of the European Union Erasmus Plus program inside the Capacity Building program and as part of an excellence network future development in- tegration framework. This extension of VISIR nodes reconfigure in 2016 a new project, PILAR, that as part of the Erasmus Plus projects will allow the Strategic Partnership to develop a new federation umbrella over the existing nodes and network.
- Experimenting in PILAR Federation: a Common Path for the FuturePublication . Garcia-Loro, Felix; Macho, Alejandro; San Cristobal, Elio; Diaz, Gabriel; Castro, Manuel; Kulesza, Wlodek; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Nilsson, Kristian; Fidalgo, André; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Kreiter, Christian; Oros, Ramona; Pester, Andreas; Garbi-Zutin, Danilo; Auer, Michael; Garcia- Hernandez, Carla; Tavio, Ricardo; Valtonen, Kati; Lehtikangas, ElinaThe PILAR (Platform Integration of Laboratories based on the Architecture of visiR) Erasmus Plus project started in September 2016 and will last three years. The core of the PILAR project is the VISIR remote laboratory —Virtual Instruments System In Reality—. The project aims for a federation of five of the existing VISIR nodes, sharing experiments, capacity and resources among partners, and to provide access to VISIR remote lab, through PILAR consortium, to students from other educational institutions. PILAR will be the framework from which management tasks will be performed and laboratories/experiments will be shared. PILAR will also foster the Special Interest Group of VISIR under the Global Online Laboratory Consortium (GOLC) of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE).
- International Cooperation for Remote Laboratory UsePublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo J.; Lima, Natércia; Castro, Manuel; Díaz-Orueta, Gabriel; SanCristóbal-Ruiz, Elio; García-Loro, Felix; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; Kulesza, Wlodek J.; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Nilsson, Kristian; Zackrisson, Johan; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo G.; Schlichting, Luis C.; Ferreira, Golberi; de Bona, Daniel D.; Pacheco, Fernando S.; da Silva, Juarez B.; Alves, João B.; Biléssimo, Simone; Pavani, Ana M.; Lima, Delberis A.; Temporão, Guilherme; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia B.; Lerro, Federico; de Arregui, Gaston S.; Merendino, Claudio; Plano, Miguel; Fernández, Rubén A.; Paz, Héctor R.; Soria, Mario F.; Gómez, Mario J.; de Almeida, Nival N.; de Oliveira, Vanderli F.; Pozzo, María I.; Dobboletta, Elsa; Bertramo, BrendaExperimenting is fundamental to the training process of all scientists and engineers. While experiments have been traditionally done inside laboratories, the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies added two alter-natives accessible anytime, anywhere. These two alternatives are known as virtual and remote labs, and are sometimes indistinguishably referred as online labs. Sim-ilarly to other instructional technologies, virtual and remote labs require some ef-fort from teachers in integrating them into curricula, taking into consideration sev-eral factors that affect their adoption (i.e. cost) and their educational effectiveness (i.e. benefit). This chapter analyses these two dimensions and sustains the case where only through international cooperation it is possible to serve the large num-ber of teachers and students involved in engineering education. It presents an ex-ample in the area of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, based on a remote lab named Virtual Instruments System in Reality, and it then describes how a number of European and Latin-American institutions have been cooperating under the scope of an Erasmus+ project2, for spreading its use in Brazil and Argentina.
- PILAR: a Federation of VISIR Remote Laboratory Systems for Educational Open ActivitiesPublication . Garcia-Loro, Felix; Cristobal, Elio San; Diaz, Gabriel; Macho, Alejandro; Baizan, Pablo; Blazquez, Manuel; Castro, Manuel; Plaza, Pedro; Orduna, Pablo; Auer, Michael; Kulesza, Wlodek; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Nilsson, Krostian; Fidalgo, André; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Kreiter, Christian; Pester, Andreas; Garcia-Hernandez, Carla; Tavio, Ricardo; Valtonen, Kati; Lehtikangas, ElinaSocial demands have promoted an educational approach based on an “anywhere and anytime” premise. Remote laboratories have emerged as the answer to the demands of technical educational areas for adapting themselves to this scenario. The result has not only benefit distance learning students but has provided new learning scenarios both for teachers and students as well as allowing a flexible approach to experimental topics. However, as any other solution for providing practical scenarios (hands-on labs, virtual labs or simulators), remote labs face several constraints inherited from the subsystems of its deployment hardware (real instruments, equipment and scenario) and software (analog/digital conversions, communications, workbenches, etc.). This paper describes the Erasmus+ project Platform Integration of Laboratories based on the Architecture of visiR (PILAR) which deals with several units of the federation installed in different educational institutions and devoted to analog electronics and electrical circuits. Based on the limitations of remote labs, the need for the federation will be justified and its benefits will be described by taking advantage of its strengths. The challenges that have come up during the different stages and the different approaches to design are also going to be described and analyzed
- PILAR: Plataforma de federación de laboratorios remotos VISIR de electrónica analógicaPublication . Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Castro, Manuel; Garcia Loro, Felix; Valtonen, Kati; San Cristobal, Elio; Díaz Orueta, Gabriel; Macho, Alejandro; Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Pester, Andreas; Kreiter, Christian; Ursutiu, Doru; Garcia, CarlaResumen—Los laboratorios remotos son ya una herramienta de enseñanza/aprendizaje en diferentes campos de la ingeniería y de la ciencia. El laboratorio remoto VISIR es un ejemplo paradigmático de esta nueva metodología en el campo de la electrónica analógica ya que el alumno puede montar y medir circuitos reales de un modo satisfactorio. En la actualidad en Europa hay cinco instancias desplegadas y activas de VISIR y en Sudamérica hay 5 más, cada una de ellas ofrece distintos circuitos eléctricos y electrónicos de manera que el usuario debe saber dónde está desplegado el circuito que él quiere montar y desplegar para poder acceder a él, lo que es una clara limitación. La solución al problema pasa por federar dicho grupo de laboratorios remotos

- Spreading remote lab usage: A system — A community — A FederationPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André Vaz; Marques, Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo; Lima, Natercia; Castro, Manuel; Diaz-Orueta, Gabriel; Ruiz, Elio San Cristobal; Garcia-Loro, Felix; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Kulesza, Wlodek; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo; Schlichting, Luis; Ferreira, Golberi; Bona, Daniel Dezan de; Silva, Juarez B. da; Alves, Joao B.; Bilessimo, Simone; Pavani, Ana; Lima, Delberis; Temporao, Guilherme; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia; Lerro, Federico; Fernandez, Ruben; Paz, Hector; Soria, Fernando; Almeida, Nival; Oliveira, Vanderli de; Pozzo, Maria I.; Dobboletta, ElsaExperiments have been at the heart of scientific development and education for centuries. From the outburst of Information and Communication Technologies, virtual and remote labs have added to hands-on labs a new conception of practical experience, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. This paper aims at describing the features of a remote lab named Virtual Instruments System in Reality, embedded in a community of practice and forming the spearhead of a federation of remote labs. More particularly, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of remote labs over virtual labs as regards to scalability constraints and development and maintenance costs. Finally, it describes an actual implementation in an international community of practice of engineering schools forming the embryo of a first world wide federation of Virtual Instruments System in Reality nodes, under the framework of a project funded by the Erasmus+ Program.
- A sustainable approach to let students do more real experiments with electrical and electronic circuitsPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Pester, Andreas; Kulesza, Wlodek; Silva, Juarez Bento; Pavani, Ana; Pozzo, María Isabel; Marchisio, Susana; Fernandez, Ruben; Oliveira, Vanderli; Schlichting, Luis C. M.; Felgueiras, Carlos; Viegas, Clara; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Costa, Ricardo; Lima, Natércia; Castro, Manuel; García-Zubía, JavierThe present paper focus on the use of remote laboratories in higher education from a sustainability viewpoint. The particular case of engineering education, and, within it, the more specific subject of experiments with electrical and electronic circuits is presented first, to then discuss the benefits of using remote labs, while considering the three dimensions of sustainable development, i.e.: economic practice, environmental protection, and social integration. The paper debates how remote labs address each dimension.
