Description
The WWW has revolutionised educational institutions. Control education is an area that has been enhanced through web developments; an initiative to experiment and incorporate web-based technologies led to the birth of Web-Based Simulation (WBS). Control education is typically a domain where Web-Based Simulation successfully shows its potential of how current technology can support the sharing of information amongst large dispersed groups.

This book is based around the proceedings of an IFAC meeting specifically devoted to Internet Based Control Education. It provided a forum for discussions around issues such as: remote labs, virtual labs, teleoperation, centralized internet repository for control education, internet based control systems materials, and virtual reality in control education. This book illuminates the most recent developments and advances in the use of the WWW in control education, and presents many open issues for laboratory control education over the internet.

Audience
For anyone involved in either setting up, or using Internet Based Control Education.
