Abstract

The computer laboratory is a primary need for computer science students in honing their abilities. But students do not have much chance accessing the computer lab because of limited laboratory capacity and operational time. Thus so requires a computer lab that can be used anytime by the students. In this research, the author designed a virtual mobile lab using virtualization technologies, so that the student can utilize this virtual mobile lab without any space or time limitation. The experimental result shows that the virtual mobile lab can replace most of the essential role of the computer laboratory, especially for network or operating system experiments.
