Federations of remote laboratories have existed for years: students of one university transparently access laboratories of other university through software systems that enable these contracts. However, traditionally these contracts have been defined in a \u201cone to one\u201d basis and both universities using the same remote laboratory management system. The focus of this contribution is to present different interoperable bridges among different remote laboratory systems and explore how they can be chained to build complex ecosystems of remote laboratories. The impact of this chaining is that, if successful, it would definitely contribute to the adoption of remote laboratories.}, booktitle = {2013 {IEEE} {Global} {Engineering} {Education} {Conference} ({EDUCON})}, author = {Ordu\xf1a, Pablo and Lerro, Federico and Bailey, Philip and Marchisio, Susana and DeLong, Kimberly and Perreta, Emmanuel and Dziabenko, Olga and Angulo, Ignacio and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Garc\xeda-Zubia, Javier}, month = mar, year = {2013}, keywords = {Federation, ISI, Interoperability, Remote Laboratories, Software Architecture, WebLab-Deusto, e-Learning, iLab Shared Architecture}, pages = {1200--1208} }']
