Virtual Laboratories in a Virtual Learning Environment are indispensable spaces for developing practical activities. This paper proposes an integrated structure for Virtual Laboratories for undergraduate degree programmes in Computer Engineering and Software Engineering. The general structure proposed is based on the experience gained in designing and developing Virtual Laboratories during the ...

1 Daniel Villela is a CNPq-Brazil Scholar 2 John Vicente is a Visiting Researcher at Columbia University Abstract The creation, deployment and management of network architecture is manual, time consuming and costly. To the network architect the creation process is ad-hoc in nature, based on hand crafting small-scale network prototypes that evolve toward wide scale deployment. We envision a diff...

In this paper, we try to see how virtual networks can af- fect the behavior of the young. Since there are so many indices to be affected by social networks, we evaluate these effects only on 10 more comprehensive behaviors as follows: identity, getting information and the rumors, rationalism,life style, spare time, religions rituals and cer- emonies, interaction with family, employment and eco-...
