    A virtual laboratory experience based on a double tank apparatus
    Irawan, R ; Ooi, M ; Yeung, G ; Weyer, E ; Nesic, D ; Mareels, I (IEEE, 2001-01-01)
    How can a virtual laboratory experience achieve the typical educational outcomes expected from a normal in situ laboratory experience? The paper deals with this question in the context of a double tank apparatus experimental set up. For this laboratory experiment, a World Wide Web interface was developed to assist students in assimilating control engineering concepts at the University of Melbourne.

    Systems engineering for irrigation systems: Successes and challenges
    MAREELS, I ; WEYER, E ; OOI, S ; CANTONI, M ; LI, Y ; NAIR, GN (Elsevier, 2005)
    In Australia, gravity fed irrigation systems are critical infrastructure essential to agricultural production and export. By supplementing these large scale civil engineering systems with an appropriate information infrastructure, sensors, actuators and a communication network it is feasible to use systems engineering ideas to improve the exploitation of the irrigation system. This paper reports how classical ideas from system identification and control can be used to automate irrigation systems to deliver a near on-demand water supply with vastly improved overall distribution efficiency.
