The document summarizes the PILAR project, which aims to create a federated network of VISIR remote laboratories. VISIR allows students to perform real electronics experiments over the internet. The PILAR project will integrate multiple VISIR nodes into a single platform to increase scalability, reliability, and experimental diversity. Partners will share resources to offer a broader range of remote experiments to students. The federated network is intended to improve learning outcomes and make more efficient use of existing VISIR laboratory hardware.

- 5. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 What is VISIR ? • VISIR is a remote laboratory for wiring and measuring electronics circuits on a breadboard • VISIR allows realizing real measurements on physical equipment with concurrent users • The entire equipment is controlled by LabVIEW server software • The wiring mechanism is developed by means of a relay switching matrix connected to a PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI)
- 6. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 What is not VISIR ? • VISIR is not a simulation software or a virtual lab; there is a physical limitation since it does not allow an indeterminate number of concurrent users • VISIR is not a lab to carry out any type of experiment; for example, destructive experiments are not allowed because all experiments must be reusable • VISIR is not an instructor • The measurement server acts as an instructor to avoid hazard circuits but it lacks of assessment or guidance for students • New developments in progress to increase educational functionalities

- 8. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 Goals in PILAR 1. Building a reliable, highly available, unique international VISIR platform federation 2. Federation will be completely opened to other partners 3. A much more innovative practical part: Building a set of remote practices, for electrical and electronics circuits, at school, grade and master level, and lifelong learning activity 4. The use of the best set of remote learning services of each partner in each moment 5. A much larger set of practices 6. A much more efficient and effective use of the VISIR resources of each of the partners, thanks to: • Transparent work-balance of users and experiments. • Simple to add new experiments: easily scalable and maintainable platform 7. A service level agreement (SLA) 8. A much better control of the students' learning process
- 9. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 Federation • The federation of remote laboratories is a feature that RLMSs have started to support, providing management tools and managing common services: • Two universities using the same RLMS support federation protocols • Two institutions providing the same remote lab can balance their clients/users load • All VISIR nodes have a limitation on the available components and feasible circuits: • Limitation in the number of component boards installable (15 at most) • The components/shortcircuits allocated at each component board depends of the component board version (2, 10/16) • The available circuits depend on the design of the component boards
- 13. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 Approaches • Redundancy approach: scalability, reliability and availability at the expense of diversity • Diversity approach: Each VISIR node can specialize in a specific topic (component’s reusability in the matrix) • Combined approach: empowering scalability for those common experiments and dedicating each node in a specific area • Agreed-Shared approach: Each node has to design a percentage of their components boards based on the federation needs

- 17. PILAR.PlatformIntegrationofLaboratoriesbasedontheArchitectureofvisiR- Erasmus+StrategicPartnershipnº2016-1-ES01-KA203-025327 Conclusions • Need of a VISIR federation • Need of sharing experiments • Any of the approaches suggested for the experiments federation in PILAR will improve the efficiency of each VISIR system • PILAR will allow partners to share their learnings and capabilities of their respective VISIR systems and experiences • PILAR will be shared with the rest of the academic community • The main challenge is derived from the different architectures implemented at each node

Ingvar Gustavsson (inspired in Max Planck): SEFI 2018 Award Francesco Maffioli of Excellence in Engineering Education ‘‘Experimenting could be compared to a conversation with nature. The experimenter asks and nature answers. The tricky thing is formulating a useful question and above all interpreting the answer. The only way to learn the language of nature is performing many experiments in laboratories that can be hands-on or remote”

Editor's Notes
- The federation of remote laboratories is a feature that RLMSs have started to support, providing management tools and managing common services: Two universities using the same RLMS support federation protocols. Two institutions providing the same remote lab can balance their clients/users load. This feature improves the users’ involvement in the remote lab environment due to the improved time response and availability. But in VISIR is not enough to share the lab, same experiments are also required.
