Architecture of a Distributed Environment for Organization and Execution of Experiments in Virtual Laboratory

Remote control of real devices is a quite popular activity these days. Fast and quite reliable computer networks seem to be suitable to perform such activities for scientific research, training and entertainment. There are many environments called virtual laboratories, which allow people to use real devices (as well as their simulators) and perform experiments. One of the most important disadvantages of majority of contemporary virtual laboratories is the fact that the features available to the users are extremely limited; they are not able to make a full use of the accessible equipment. The reason is a lack of a correct architecture of these laboratories.

The goal of the lecture is to present the architecture of the Virtual Laboratory created in Distributed Systems Research Group at Department of Computer Science of AGH. The important issue of the platform is the usage of the most complex and sophisticated component technology - CORBA Component Model (CCM) - and its integration with workflow and portal environments into one consistent multilayer architecture. Remote users of the Virtual Laboratory can develop, configure, deploy and execute both batched and interactive experiments by themselves. The concept and architecture were practically verified by creating a prototype instance of the Laboratory - Multimedia Virtual Laboratory.
