Brief Description

This was one of the early project, we may be at liberty to say - in the world, that dealt with a means to enable laboratory instruments be accessible and controlled from a remote location, in real time, over the Internet. Unlike then typical solutions, which required a remote user to pre-install some special software to be able to control a remote instrument and even to have separate communication channel reserved for each remote user, in this work we examined an approach that does not require a remote user to pre-install any special software, but merely a regular web browser, and a simultaneous multi-user access and collaboration.
