Abstract(s)

The reconfiguration capability provided by Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and the current limitations of weblab infrastructures, opened a new research window. This paper focus on describing the way weblabs can be reconfigured with different Instruments & Modules (I&M) required to conduct remote experiments, without changing the entire infrastructure. For this purpose, the paper emphasizes the advantage of using FPGAs to create reconfigurable weblab infrastructures using the IEEE1451.0 Std. as a basis to develop, access and bind embedded I&Ms to an IEEE1451.0-Module.
