With the globalization of education, the interest in and need for teleworking, remote services, and collaborative working environments is now increasing rapidly. Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for education in university-level courses for these topics. REV 2011 offers an exciting technical programme, as well as academic networking opportunities during the social events.

Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation are future trends in engineering and science. It is increasingly necessary to allow and organize a shared use of equipment, but also specialized software, as for example simulators. The organizers especially encourage people from industry to present their experience and applications of remote engineering and virtual instruments.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

• virtual and remote laboratories
• remote process visualization and virtual instrumentation
• networking and grid technologies
• mixed-reality environments for education and training
• education and operation interfaces, usability, reusability, and accessibility
• open educational resources (OER)
• human-computer interfaces, usability, reusability, and accessibility
• innovative organizational and educational concepts for remote engineering
• renewable energy

It is intended to broadcast all technical sessions via Internet.

The proceedings will be published on CD by the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE). Interesting papers may be published in the International Journal of Online Engineering (iJOE).
