ABSTRACT
Building an Agent-Based Laboratory Infrastructure for Higher Education Hong Lin, Khoi Nguyen, Muna Saqer
We present an ongoing project at the University of Houston-
Downtown (UHD) that aims to build a grid as a laboratory
environment to support undergraduate education. We intend to
use this PC clusters centered grid to allow students to perform
laboratory exercises through web interfaces. In order to
accommodate lab packages of a growing number of courses,
we design the system as a modular system using multi-agent
modeling. Students are recruited to implement the units of the
system as senior student project topics or research activities
sponsored by the Scholar’s Academy of UHD. Through these
projects, we geared our research toward higher education and
provided students with opportunities to participate in building a
computational infrastructure for curriculum improvement. This
is very important for a minority-serving institution (MSI) with
limited resources such as UHD.
