AUTOMATED COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH IN REMOTE FORMAT

Abstract

In the article the automated computer system for conducting experimental research in a remote format was developed, which allows you to implement an algorithm for conducting many laboratory tests remotely in quarantine and outside it under the full control of the teacher. A comparative analysis of existing systems for remote experimental research was performed. Structural diagrams of the web application, database and automated system in general are presented. The software in the form of a web application that controls an automated system was developed. The settings of remote administration programs on workstations are given. The automated system is designed to improve the convenience and quality of conducting experimental research in a remote format by students and researchers, as well as to automate the process of obtaining data and remote connection to a computer during experimental research. The system was created to automate and increase the convenience of remote experimental research; creating a web application that will allow you to conveniently connect to the workstation, control and prevent unauthorized access to the system; providing remote data acquisition and information on experimental research. As a result of system creation the value of the following indicators has been improved: convenience of carrying out experimental researches; saving time spent on research; the number of simultaneous users of the system. System architecture, web application and database were developed. The system is built around a web application and programs for remote administration. The web application is built on the MVC architecture. The server part of the program is written in the programming language PHP and SQL, and the client part – in HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), JavaScript (JQuery). The database is managed by the MySQL database management system. Microsoft RDP and TeamViewer are used as remote administration programs in the system. The basic web application was developed and described how to configure Microsoft RDP and TeamViewer remote administration programs on workstations. The development of the web application was divided into two parts: first the client part was developed, and then the server part. Cybersecurity and event accounting in a web application were the focused on. The main function of the system is to optimize scientific activities and the educational process by providing the opportunity to conduct research in a remote format. To increase the reliability of the system, two remote administration programs are used, as well as accounting for system events. The result of using the developed system is to improve the quality of research results and the learning process, as well as optimization of system maintenance processes.
