The REV conference is the annual joint conference of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE), www.online-engineering.org and the Global Online Laboratory Consortium (GOLC), www.online-lab.org. REV 2016 will take place in Madrid, Spain and will be organized in cooperation with Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

REV 2016 is the thirteenth in a series of annual events concerning the area of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. The general objective of this conference is to contribute and discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. With the increasing of the interest of new scientific and engineering applications of remote services, education applications and collaborative environment as well as the projects being developed in this area, and the Institution and Organizations (public and privates) interest in new developments like Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, cyber security, M2M and smart objects. Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for education in University level for those topics including new technology applications, MOOCs, Open resources and STEM Pre-University attraction.
