Abstract
Virtual Research Environments (VRE) have been researched in detail in the past years. However, the connection to and between real resources has not been focused on in detail. Connecting real and virtual worlds has been a major research topic though in the field of logistics. The Internet of Things has become a synonym for combining both worlds in logistics and beyond. It seems a straight forward approach to relate both fields of research and find synergies for a distributed logistic research lab environment. In a case scenario of the LogDynamics Lab at the University of Bremen the technical requirements of distributed logistic research communities and infrastructures that combine both, virtual and real world, are investigated.
