REV 2014 is the eleventh in a series of annual events concerning the area of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. The REV conference is the annual conference of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE) (www.online-engineering.org). REV 2014 will take place in Porto, Portugal and will be organized by the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering (www.isep.ipp.pt). The general objective of this conference is to demonstrate and discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. With the globalization of education the interest in teleworking, remote services and collaborative working environments is increasing rapidly. Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for education in university level courses for these topics. REV 2014 offers an exciting technical program as well as academic networking opportunities during the social events.
SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE:
Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation includes consideration of topics such as:
- Remote, online and virtual laboratories, including architectures, pedagogies and applications.
- Remote process visualization and virtual instrumentation
- Remote control and measurement technologies
- Use of networking and grid technologies in supporting remote access to systems
- Mixed-reality environments for education and training
- Technical and design issues in remote engineering, including human-computer interfaces, usability, accessibility and security
