Abstract
This chapter examines four emerging trends in the Internet that have the potential to influence the development of remote laboratories: the real-time web, the Internet of Things (IOT), geographically distributed collaboration, and scientific workflows. Each of these trends is examined and discussed, and a suggested research and development path is offered.
