English abstract

As a part of the PLANETS project a handful of experiments was made trying to automate typically interactive procedures. These tests have shown that the remote control software VNC is a very promising solution. VNC builds upon RFB - a simple remote access protocol, which works at the framebuffer level and is consequently platform independent. The above mentioned tests were made using QEMU, which has an integrated VNC interface. The resulting automation technique should be generalized and tested with other suitable emulators. The goal of this work is the implementation of an integrated VNC server for another suitable emulator, thus help generalizing the above technique. As such an emulator Dioscuri is chosen. "Dioscuri is an x86 computer hardware emulator written in Java. It is designed by the digital preservation community to ensure documents and programs from the past can still be accessed in the future."
