Interoperating remote laboratory management systems (RLMSs) for more efficient sharing of laboratory resources
We address the benefits of remote laboratories and Remote Laboratory Management Systems (RLMSs). We shed light on a major obstacle in RLMSs development. We address this issue and propose a novel Application Programming Interface (API) design pattern. We explain the capabilities of the proposed pattern using an illustrative case study scenario. We adopt the proposed standard to create an API for inter-communicating the two common RLMSs SAHARA and ISA.
