Different initiatives have existed during the last two decades, and indeed toolkits (e.g. iLabs, WebLab-Deusto or Labshare Sahara) have been developed to ease their development by providing common management features (e.g. authentication or scheduling). Each of these systems was developed aiming particular constraints, so it could be difficult to migrate the labs built on top of one system to other. While there is certainly some overlap among these systems, with bridges among them they become complimentary. Given that these systems support web services based federation protocols for sharing labs, it is possible to achieve this goal, and share labs among different universities through different systems. The impact of this goal is that different institutions can increase the experiential activities of their students, potentially improving their learning goals. The focus is the integration of WebLab-Deusto labs inside the iLab Shared Architecture, as well as the integration of iLab batch labs inside WebLab-Deusto, detailing limitations and advantages of both integrations and showing particular cases.}, urldate = {2014-01-30TZ}, journal = {Computers in Human Behavior}, author = {Ordu\xf1a, Pablo and Bailey, Philip and DeLong, Kimberly and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Garc\xeda-Zubia, Javier}, month = jan, year = {2014}, keywords = {Federation, ISI, Interoperability, JCR, JCR2.067, Q1, Software Architecture, WebLab-Deusto, remote laboratories}, pages = {389--395} }']
