What is Application Deployment?

Share MATLAB programs with people who do not have MATLAB

– Royalty-free distribution

Provide MATLAB apps or native files directly to other MATLAB users

How to create apps

5

Packaging and sharing MATLAB apps

Automatically includes all necessary files

Documents required products

Creates single installation file for easy distribution and

installation into the MATLAB apps gallery

Tab within the MATLAB Toolstrip

Prominently displays both user-written apps and apps

included in MATLAB products

Makes it easy to find and launch MATLAB apps

6

How to create stand-alone applications?

Application author 1.) Create MATLAB algorithms

2.) Define the user interface

3.) Package the application using MATLAB Compiler

They will install the application

…. and run it on their desktop

4.) Give the application installer to someone

Scale up with MATLAB Production Server

Most efficient path for enterprise applications

Deploy MATLAB programs into production

– Manage multiple MATLAB programs and

versions

– Update programs without server restarts

– Reliably service large numbers of concurrent

requests

Integrate with web, database, and application

servers
