RVLabX, a Web-based interactive laboratory environment for education and research

RVLabX stands for eXtended Remote Virtual Laboratory. It is a workplace software, that permits the creation and management of a Web-based generic, interactive laboratory with a particular emphasis on the creation of XML-based adaptable user interface for each team member involved in the process. The software can be installed on any desktop and connects to distributed virtual laboratory servers. The ultimate goal is to create and configure distributed laboratories, where users can interact with one another as if all are working both in cooperation and collaboratively on a single site. Thus, students, teachers, tutors, laboratory technicians or managers at geographically distinct locations can share their expertise and equipment.
