 class "streaming" which provides guaranteed bit-rate and constant delay (which lowers the requirement for buffering at receiving part). For both sides (providers and their customers), the performance assessment techniques presented hereby, could be very useful. Last, but not the least, these techniques can be easily adapted to other data acquisition systems-generally to any other equipment that can be driven by any other general-purpose instrumenta- tion software (e.g., Keithley "TestPoint" or Agilent "VEE")-in this case LabVIEW (as drivers are also compliant to VISA-Virtual Instrument Software Architecture [27] and IVI-Interchangeable Virtual Instruments [28]). The techniques presented will be further extended in the next paragraphs con- sidering newest protocols and controls for the programming of distributed applica- tions in remote monitoring-National Instruments developed Data-logging and Supervisory Control (DSC) modules [29] for remote monitoring with the Tele-Measurement Services for m-Learning networking of devices for the transfer of acquisition (output)/or (input) control data to/from distributed databases [30]. 12.2 Remote Access to Real and Emulated Experiments Mobile phones are the most popular technological devices among the younger pop- ulation [31-34]. There are approximately 10 million handsets sold monthly world- wide. They increasingly include palm-like functionality: the "smartphones" are handheld devices that integrate personal information management (PIM) and mobile phone capabilities (either adding phone functions to already capable per- sonal digital assistants-PDAs-or putting "smart" capabilities, such as PDA functions, into mobile phones): MMS/e-mail/news/chat clients, scheduling soft- ware and contact management, built-in MP3/MP4 players, portable gaming, photo and video cameras, digital radio, TV or GPS receivers, the ability for streaming and to read files in a variety of formats (e.g., MS Office, Adobe PDF or including Macromedia Flash) stored in larger amounts in high-capacity int
