International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV) 2014

REV 2014 is being hosted by the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering (ISEP) (www.isep.ipp.pt), in Porto, Portugal. Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and has been elected as the best European Destination 2012 by the users of the European Consumers choice website. Attending REV2014 will give you an opportunity to discover Porto and what makes it different: the famous Port Wine, an Historical Center designated World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, and Museums, among other attractions, whilst participating in an exciting conference program.

REV 2014 is the eleventh in a series of annual events concerning the area of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. The REV conferences are the annual conferences of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE) (www.online-engineering.org). The general objective of this conference is to demonstrate and discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. With the globalization of education the interest in and need of teleworking, remote services and collaborative working environments now increases rapidly. Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for education in university level courses for these topics. REV 2014 offers an exciting technical program as well as academic networking opportunities during the social events.

Scope of the conference

Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation are very future trends in engineering and science. Due to:

the growing complexity of engineering tasks,

more and more specialized and expensive equipmentas well as software tools and simulators,

the necessary use of expensive equipment and software tools/simulators in short time projects,

the application of high tech equipment also in SME's,

the need of high qualified staff to control recent equipment,

the demands of globalization and division
