[2] The paper titled REMOTE AUTOMATION LABORATORY USING A
CLUSTER OF VIRTUAL MACHINES, IEEE Transactions on Industrial by Alfredo Gardel Vicente, Ignacio Bravo Munoz Jose Luis Lazaro Galilea and Pedro A. Revenga del Toro,Electronics, vol. 57, no. 10, pp. 32763283, 2010. The paper presents a remote laboratory for industrial automation comprising different programmable logic controller (PLC) manufacturers. This facility provides an environment for remote users to learn many automation topics while using different PLCs together with several types of sensors, actuators, and industrial communication networks. The laboratory architecture that makes up the remote automation laboratory (RAL) is based on a Moodle-server master PC (MPC), which also manages the booking system of PLC benches available in the laboratory. There exist a cluster of virtual machines (VMs) running on several slave PCs (SPCs), four VMs per SPC. Each VM can manage a type of PLC bench of the automation laboratory. The MPC server balances the load of SPCs allowing the implementation and easy upgrading of the RAL offering different PLCs at the same time within the same remote interface. The remote laboratory has Internet protocol cameras providing a view of the real environment of each PLC bench to the remote user. The authentication system and management of remote users and PLC benches are made via Moodle plug-ins and hypertext preprocessor (PHP) scripts. Two external/internal routers dynamically configure the remote users' access to a particular PLC bench. RAL architecture can be applied to other e- learning areas.
[3] The paper titled PERFORMANCE OF HTTP PROTOCOL IN NETWORKED
CONTROL SYSTEMS, IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, by Arkadiusz Jestratjew and Andrzej Kwiecien, The paper is about Integration of Networked Control Systems is always an engineering challenge. Heterogeneous hardware and software environments combined with long lifetime of control systems make this job particularly troublesome. Modern concepts of integration of automation systems are related to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). While its suitability is proven in IT systems, SOA has not been adopted yet in commercial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and thus cannot be considered as a solution for integration with already deployed control systems. However, during past years thousands of PLCs with embedded HTTP servers were deployed in the field. These devices, used together with modern PLC that acts as the HTTP client, enable unique opportunity of integration for control systems with soft real-time constraints. In the present study, the performance of PLC-to-PLC communications based on HTTP is evaluated and compared to Modbus TCP.

APPLETS AND TWINCAT PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS by Eva Besada-Portas, Jose A. Lopez-Orozco, Luis de la Torre, and Jesus M. de la Cruz This paper presents a new methodology to develop remote laboratories for systems engineering and automation control courses, based on the combined use of TwinCAT, a laboratory Java server application, and Easy Java Simulations (EJS). EJS is used to develop the laboratory front-end applets that let teachers and students parametrize and observe the behavior of the PLCs from any computer. The laboratory Java server application establishes the connection between the EJS applets and the PLCs, fulfilling the TwinCAT connection requirements while ensuring an individualized access to each PLC. This paper also shows how the practical work in some undergraduate control courses at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, already uses the TwinCAT PLC + Java server + EJS applet strategy to provide real-time support to the controllers, remote individualized access to the experiments, and a user-friendly graphic controller interface for the students. [5] The paper titled HOME AUTOMATION USING RASPBERRY PI THROUGH SIRI ENABLED MOBILE DEVICES by Md. Nasimuzzaman Chowdhury, Md. ShibleeNooman and Srijon Sarker, The paper is about Home automation is a system that has the technology to control devices automatically in order to convene the desires of security, comfort and efficiency. On the other hand, voice-based digital assistant such as Apple's Siri provides a location independent access to the Internet and local networks. This study focuses on implementing a home automation system through Siri's capability of speech recognition and through Raspberry Pi as a low cost control system to automate home devices, namely the air cooler, door, lights, TV and window. SiriProxy is installed on the Raspberry Pi as a proxy server for Siri. By developing a SiriProxy plug-in, a set of commands for home automation could be custom-made by the user. The system has been tested and verified through speech recognition's accuracy tests, response latency tests and success rate tests. A total of 34 subjects with different English accents tested a total of 14 voice commands with a total of 390 trials. The tests verified that the system's average latency is at 2.12 seconds with an overall success rate at 93.3333% on at least 3 trials and 87.381% success rate on at least one trial.

[8] The paper titled REMOTE MONITORING & CONTROLLING OF REAL
TIME INDUSTRIAL PARAMETERS WITH GSM & ETHERNET by, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar, Maharashtra, India Networked embedded systems have become quite important nowadays, especially for monitoring and control the industrial devices. The World Wide Web is a global system of interconnected computer networks that used the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billion of users worldwide and allows the user to interface many real time embedded applications like data acquisition ,Industrial automations and safety measures etc,. This paper approached towards the design and development of Interactive Data Acquisition and Control System (IDACS) using ARM. Single chip IDACS method improved the processing capability of a system and was solved the problem of poor real time and reliability. This system used the ARM7 controller. In industries or in home appliances, most of the time we need to monitor and control different parameters using controllers. There are several I/O pins available at the controller which were used to interface with sensors and relays for monitoring and controlling operations. Sensors acquired data. That data transferes to the client on remote location with the help of Ethernet. From that data acquisition controlling action was performed by the client on remote location. This system also used short message service to send SMS to client via GSM when value exceeds above set point & particular controlling action performed through GSM modem.
