Abstract

Embedded Engineering Learning Platform (E2LP) FP7 project deals with Embedded Systems Education at University level, which requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving different technologies and system solution optimizations. The paper presents the results of Remote Laboratory (RL) services development for distance learning for Embedded Systems Education, developed under E2LP. The paper addresses advanced information technologies solutions in the integration stages along with novel hardware technologies involved. E2LP RL assembles hardware and the exercise materials provided by the project partners and it delivers secure and open access e-learning portal, which allows to create full course and provide alternative teaching methods through the real-time experiments. This paper could be also a guideline for future RL developers in embedded systems domain. We describe what components are needed to build remote laboratories for embedded systems and what could be a scope of remote operation for users.
