ABSTRACT

Remote Laboratory as a Service (RLaaS)-Frame is a web application framework and an Service-Oriented Architecture built upon the cloud-computing technology. Based on the RLaaS model, a new cloud-based framework, namely RLaaS-Frame, is proposed to flexibly and rapidly deploy the remote laboratory system. As a standardized framework, the RLaaS-Frame can be extended to other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry and biology. This RLaaS-Frame will accelerate the adoption of remote laboratory technology and benefit online education, academic research, and industrial applicat ions. To demonstrate the feasibility of the RLaaS-Frame, a Wiki-based remote laboratory platform and the mobile-optimized application framework have been integrated into the RLaaS-Frame. In order to combine the advantages of Virtualiztion Management and Docker, an optimized solution to support the RLaaS-Frame is proposed. The RLaaS model originates from promoting the traditional remote laboratory technology to the new cloud-based remote laboratory technology.
