Little attention has been paid to the other communication segment going from the controlling PC (WebLab server) and the remote users\' PCs, since this has been regarded as a "solved software problem". Consequently, aspects such as security, scalability, accessibility, user friendliness, or the possibility of collaborative work in WebLabs have often been disregarded. This situation may be resolved if a serious effort is placed on the definition of a proper distributed software architecture for WebLabs. In this paper, we describe such ideal software architecture, resulted from an iterative process seeking a Web-based, secure, scalable, multiuser, multi-device WebLab.}, booktitle = {31st {Annual} {Conference} of {IEEE} {Industrial} {Electronics} {Society}, 2005. {IECON} 2005}, author = {Garcia-Zubia, Javier and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Ordu\xf1a, Pablo}, year = {2005}, keywords = {AJAX, ISI, Java applets, Mono, Remote Laboratories, Software Architecture, WebLab-Deusto, Xilinx devices, python}, pages = {6 pp.--} }']
