Page 22.428.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Design Aspects of a Database for Remote Laboratory ManagementAbstract This paper describes the design of a database which is used to manage the remote laboratoryRLAB. RLAB allows users from all over the world to access a set of real world physical models,to perform experiments by interactively working with them in a realtime environment, and todownload the resulting data to their own computer system for further processing. The onlyrequirement for the user's computer is an internet browser. RLAB was originally developed at Cologne University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) inGermany; it uses NI LabVIEW to perform the interfacing to the real world
