An internet-based control engineering laboratory

This paper presents LABNET, an internet-based remote laboratory for control engineering education developed at UEM-University. At present, the remote laboratory integrates three basic physical systems (level control, temperature control and ship stabilizing system). In this paper, the LABNET architecture is presented and discussed in detail. Issues concerned with concurrent user access, local or remote feedback, automatic report generating and reusing of experiment’s templates have been addressed. Furthermore, the experiences gained developing, testing and using the system will be also presented and their consequences for future design.

Lengua y caos: esbozo de las implicaciones de la teoría de los sistemas complejos para la lingüística

El presente texto se resume históricamente el estudio de los sistemas caóticos y se muestran las implicaciones que el paradigma de los sistemas dinámicos complejos tiene para la lingüística. Por último, se refieren algunas líneas de investigación actuale y se sugieren otras venideras.
