LaaS aims to tackle the common concurrent challenges in remote laboratories developing and implementation such as inter-institutional sharing, interoperability with other heterogeneous systems, coupling with heterogeneous services and learning objects, difficulty of developing, and standardization.component-based remote laboratoriesLaaSmodular remote laboratoriestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
