iLabs - Remote Labs

iLabs Architecture Overview


iLabs architecture

iLabs’ design separates online labs into three distinct modules connected by a Web service architecture.

  • The Lab Server is operated by the lab’s owner and deals with the actual operation of the lab hardware.
  • The Lab Client runs on the end user’s computer, and provides the interface to the operation of the lab.
  • The Service Broker mediates exchanges between the Lab Client and the Lab Server and provides storage and administrative services that are generic and can be shared by multiple labs within a single university.
