Abstract

Distance Learning is one of the interesting research topics of distributed computing. This paper discusses a joint research project between the University of Aizu in Japan and Tamkang University in Taiwan. A software system supports virtual university operations is proposed. The software architecture is designed based on three criteria of virtual university operations: administration, awareness, and assessment. Specifications of each tools in the system are proposed, with some implementation details and solutions discussed. We also point out some interesting research directions in the realization of virtual university.
