REV2008 is the fifth in a series of annual events addressing the area of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. Previous editions of REV were organised in the form of an international symposium,
which from 2007 assumes the role of the annual conference of the International Association of Online Engineering (www.online-engineering.org). The general objective of this conference is to discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of online engineering, both in industry and academia. REV 2008 offers an exciting technical program as well as academic networking opportunities during the social event on June 22 & 23.

Scope of the conference

Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation are very future trends in engineering and science. Due to:

  • the growing complexity of engineering tasks,
  • more and more specialized and expensive equipmentas well as software tools and simulators,
  • the necessary use of expensive equipment and software tools/simulators in short time projects,
  • the application of high tech equipment also in SME's,
  • the need of high qualified staff to control recent equipment,
  • the demands of globalization and division of labour,

it is increasingly necessary to allow and organize a shared use of equipment, but also specialized software as for example simulators. Organizers especially encourage people from industry to present their experience and applications of remote engineering and virtual instruments.

The general objective of this conference is to discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation.
The use of virtual and remote laboratories is one of the future directionsfor advanced teleworking, remote service and e-working environments.
Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for educationin university level courses for this topic.
