Networked Experiments in Cooperative Knowledge Spaces

Cooperative knowledge spaces create new potentials for the experimental fields in natural sciences and engineering since they enhance the accessibility of experimental setups through virtual laboratories and remote technology, opening them for collaborative and distributed usage. A concept for extending existing virtual knowledge spaces for the means of the technological disciplines (ViCToR-spaces- virtual cooperation in teaching and research for mathematics, natural sciences and engineering) is presented, and the integration of networked virtual laboratories and remote experiments ("nanolab approach") is described
