TL;DR: A Web-based control laboratory for experimentation on a nonlinear multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system: the three-tank plant is introduced and students can learn in a practical way many fundamental aspects of control processes.

TL;DR: A new method, called Spectral Global Silhouettes method (GS), to calculate the optimal number of clusters in a dataset using a Spectral Clustering algorithm that combines both a Silhouette Validity Index and the concept of Local Scaling is presented.

TL;DR: The authors describe their virtual and remote laboratory, which uses a nonlinear system that students can run from anywhere on the Internet, which integrates both open source and commercial software tools.

TL;DR: The programming techniques implemented and the design considerations that justify these particular choices are described and an example of development of a web-based application is discussed, in which an electrical drive servo-motor is introduced as a convenient setup to practice with motion control applications.

TL;DR: Novel research is presented about a new soft-sensor that predicts the current weather signal in WWTP control systems, which differs from traditional weather forecasting since this soft-Sensor predicts the weather conditions as an operator does when controling the WWTP.
