The increased dependence on ICT services makes home users more vulnerable to online attacks, security breaches, identity thefts, and unauthorized access to valuable information if specific measures and precautions are not properly instated. Nowadays, wired communications are giving way to wireless, and most of the computing devices and appliances that we use are always online, hence potentially vulnerable to attacks and unauthorized access. We address such security issues by an embedded solution targeting home users and small home networks that could be employed on a wide range of communication hardware (e.g. home routers) as a replacement of the standard manufactures firmware. The design, development and all practical aspects of the integration of such embedded system solutions into existing communication appliances are considered as essential components of the Embedded Systems academic course with hands-on experience and practice on networking that we build.

“…Based on the above we deem communication appliances to be particularly suitable as an embedded systems platform in respect to the requirements that we have outlined. Note that such communication appliances have already been used for teaching Computer Networks in real networks [3] and as inexpensive Linux routers in hands-on network laboratory setups [4,5].…”

“…It can not only cultivate students' practical abilities, stimulate students' study interest and excavate their own potentials, but also help students have a deeper understanding of the application of theoretical knowledge and improve their comprehensive abilities to analyze and solve the problem. However, traditional hands-on labs [1] are severely constrained by their limited scheduling and high cost of room space and equipments and can't meet the increasing demand for the experiments. Based on this, different internet-based laboratories with different framework have been developed to solve this problem, which can reduce the cost of equipment and provide users chances to operate the expensive experimental equipment remotely.…”

This paper describes the application of an internet-based electrical engineering lab (iEELab) integrated with both real and virtual experiments. The real experiments are based on authentic physical devices, while the virtual ones based on simulation models using Modelica for unified modeling. The unique lab offers combination of real and virtual experiments, which has built a bridge between theoretical lessons and laboratory classes. The productive lab provides distance education students with six courses in electrical engineering and automation, including circuit theory, analog electronic technique, digital electronic technique, microelectronics, DSP and MeU. The instructive lab enables users to design and check their own circuit diagram. Also users can get real physical experiment results and virtual simulation results simultaneously, so they can make a clear parallel between the two results from different backstage calculation module. The whole system has good expansibility and new experiment modules can be flexibly added.
