Why a Laboratory?
- To gain and maintain a premier position in online
delivery, a technical program in IT must develop
the capacity to access labs using the Internet.
To be credible, these labs must meet standards
for conducting experiments in a rigorous way.
Educational quality demands it. - Many so-called "virtual" labs are merely
simulations or animations of phenomena which do
not allow the basic steps of scientific method - Observation and description of a phenomenon or
group of phenomena. - Formulation of an hypothesis to explain the
phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes
the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical
relation. - Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of
other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the
results of new observations. - Performance of experimental tests of the
predictions by several independent experimenters
and properly performed experiments.

Remote Access Labs
- Four years and running
- best practice survey of academic and corporate
- site visits
- Started with software tools
- Added hardware and physical facilities
- Migrating toward emulations
5
Criteria
- Ease of use for faculty and students
- Affordable
- Scalable
- Secure
- Supportable
- Non-vendor specific, but applications oriented
- Pedagogically worthwhile

Remote Access Laboratory Initiatives
- Database
- Software Engineering
- Network Network Security
7
Database
- Lab manual authored by our faculty!
- Access to Oracle educational program 8i, later 9i
for Relational db course (2001), 10g in 2004 - 8 Courses in relational, object oriented, and
relational/object, security and administration
8
Database Lab Infrastructure
- Servers
- Nova (Previously existing production server)
- 5 dbcourse servers
- (Isolated from production servers)
- Software
- Oracle 8i, 9i, now 10g
- ERWin
- OEM
- Precise
- Object Store
9
Software Engineering
- Tools-based
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
- Borland Together
- IBM/Rational Enterprise Studio
- Telelogic DOORS
- Microsoft Project
10
Network Security Laboratory
- Data Communications
- Network Security
- Intrusion Detection, Incident Response and
Forensics
11
Issues
- Expand online lab capability and capacity
- Assist undergraduate programs in developing IA
lab capability--in US, Europe, and Asia - Scalability thru emulations
12
Next Generation
- Emulations using OpNet IT Guru
- Piloted Fall 2004
- Very flexible, highly scalable, affordable
