Virtual and remote laboratories have improved
learning and training in the academic community. They allow students to acquire methods, skills and experience related to real equipment in an intuitive and cost-effective way. The purpose of this paper is to present…

The knowledge imperfections should be considered when modeling complex problems. A solution is to develop a model that reduces the complexity and another option is to represent the imperfections: uncertainty, vagueness and incompleteness in the knowledge base. This paper proposes…

This paper presents a laboratory session of an advanced programming course to introduce students to the technology involved with the Java programming language. In this special lab session the educational software tool VisualJVM is used, providing a graphical front-end to…

This paper presents a new approach to algorithm design and analysis that benefits from the OO characteristics of Java. It consists of first defining the inheritance structure of a collection of algorithms, at different levels of abstraction. Then, correctness proofs…

In this work a statics virtual laboratory is presented. This virtual laboratory is a set of different applets, tools based in Java, which allow the visualization of different physical laws in the field of statics. The applets have the advantage…

Microsoft's .NET Framework, and JAVA platforms, are based in a just-in-time compilation philosophy. Software developed using these technologies is executed in a hardware independent framework, which provides a full object-oriented
environment, and in some cases allows the interaction
of several…

This paper describes the new features included in the Robolab 2 System, which permits the students to
work with a simulation of and industrial robot and carry out operations with the real robot through teleoperation.
Among these features, the flexibility…

This thesis describes a framework for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing dynamic data, particularly data gathered through Web questionnaires. The framework addresses challenges such as promoting user participation, handling missing or invalid data, and streamlining the data interpretation process. Tools in…

Web-based learning environments are becoming increasingly popular in higher education. One of the most important web-learning resources is the virtual laboratory (VL), which gives students an easy way for training and learning through the Internet. Moreover, on-line collaborative communication represents…
