Real-time web-based lab for teaching software engineering

This paper discusses an approach to the design and implementation of Web-based labs to teach software engineering and related courses focused on real-time embedded systems. The labs include not only data acquisition and control access to remote devices but also a capability of remote software development and uploading. Several platforms have been created for this purpose, including: micro-controllers, FPGA boards, computer game devices, and real-time kernels. First experiences are very positive and plans are being made for significant expansion and making the lab permanent.
