MATLAB Web Server and M-file Application

Using of MATLAB Web server (MWS) is attractive for students as well as for universities due to reduction of costs for both parties. Standard MWS applications support structured hands-on experiments welcomed for visualization of hard to grasp concepts and as a design tool. MWS applications for Math, power electronics and control design, part of a virtual laboratory created at University of Maribor, are represented. In addition a M-file MWS application-an example of unstructured MWS environment allowing students to write the MATLAB M-files of their own and to execute them on MWS is presented in detail. Only a simple text editor and an Internet browser are needed by a student to use M-file MWS application
