An experimental architecture for interactive web-based DSP education

This paper describes an experimental architecture for interactive education of DSP in the World Wide Web environment. The architecture is based on a client-server model providing means of distributing resources. The major design goal has been to combine interactivity and computational resources. The architecture itself is open in a sense that it does not specify implementation and it can be used for a variety of applications. Computer based education (CBE) of DSP is one area where it can be beneficially applied. An example of implementation for that purpose is presented. With our implementation, special attention has been paid to minimize the requirements of additional software for the user because of educational reasons. Thus only a Java-capable browser and audio support are needed at the user end.
