This article proposes the design framework of a distributed, real-time collaborative architecture. The architecture concept allows information to be fused, disseminated, and interpreted collaboratively among researchers who live across continents in real-time. The architecture is designed based on the distributed object technology, DCOM. In our framework, every module can be viewed as an object. Each of these objects communicates and passes data with one another via a set of interfaces and connection points. We constructed the virtual laboratory based on the proposed architecture. The laboratory allows multiple analysts to collaboratively work through a standard web-browser using a set of tools, namely, chat, whiteboard, audio/video exchange, file transfer and application sharing. Several existing technologies are integrated to provide collaborative functions, such as NetMeeting. Finally, the virtual laboratory quality evaluation is described with an example application of remote collaboration in satellite image fusion and analysis. ß

“…Computer assisted teaching increases the interaction of the student and instructor and enhances the learning process of many students as they find the relationship between the theoretical principles and the observed behavior in an easy and intuitive way [2]. An environment called ''learning by doing'' uses computer based training and simulation tools to modify the behavior of a process by changing the values of the various parameters [3].…”

In Part I of this paper, we present the development of tools for engineering design, analysis and simulation over the World Wide Web accessible via a web browser. The tools utilize the power and versatility provided by the software package MATLAB and the features of the web toolbox. This work aims at improving the understanding of engineering fundamentals through interactive real-time simulation. The current environment consists of a number of modules for the interactive real-time simulation of linear time invariant dynamic systems and for analysis and synthesis of planar mechanisms. The properly designed input interface facilitates the easy understanding of the required inputs from the user. The returned information to the user's web browser consists of ASCII (textual), graphical, and pictorial representations, and provides information of the input and solutions. In addition, where appropriate, the user has the option to view an animation of the system. This work demonstrates advantages of using this technology to aid in classroom instruction, ease of implementation for application in other domains, and provides valuable analysis tools to students and engineering professionals. Examples will be presented in Part II to demonstrate the developed tools. Users with access to the Internet can use the developed mechanism synthesis and analysis modules at http://zodhia.uta.edu/development. ß
