IPS LAB.

Limitations of Matlab Web Server • Matlab workspace is not retained – All variables and data generated by an application is lost upon completion of the program – Results need to be recomputed for subsequent analysis by other applications

• Does not provide interactivity with Matlab graphical output • Difficult to track users – The system does not have a concept of sessions

• Does not provide network security – No data encryption provided – User authentication not provided IPS LAB.

The OSU Matlab Portal • Based on standard open source industry components: Apache, Tomcat, Linux, MySQL • Java technology used to build a web interface to Matlab – Matlab includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), providing access to Java objects

• Java servlets enable web based communication • Kerberized Java sockets facilitate communication between Matlab an servlet • Secure socket layer (SSL) used for encryption of all communication over the web IPS LAB.

Java Servlets • Java servlets perform the following functions – Authenticate users – Start a new Matlab process for each new user – Communicate with user’s browser using the https protocol – Communicate with user’s Matlab process using kerberized sockets – Track users through sessions

IPS LAB.

Kerberos, Java Sockets and Servlet • The Kerberos mechanism is used for secure message exchanges using sockets • The OSU Matlab portal uses Kerberos V5 mechanism for secure communication • Kerberos ticket required for establishing credentials and secure communication • Kerberos tickets expire when user logs out of the portal

IPS LAB.

Kerberos based communication • Once a user is authenticated and logged in, a unique Kerberos ticket is generated • Communication process: – Connection is established between Java socket and Servlet – Socket and Servlet instantiate a new security context for communication – Using the Kerberos ticket the Socket and Servlet mutually authenticate and exchange tokens for encryption – All communication between them is now encrypted using previously exchanged tokens IPS LAB.

Database Access using JDBC • Matlab provides the ability to access Java objects • Custom Java classes and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) are used to accesses databases • Matlab can extract data from JDBC compliant databases using these classes • Provides independence from the Matlab Database Toolbox

Designing Portal Applications • Create necessary Matlab m-files • Input to Matlab – Obtained from user, over the web – HTML forms can be used

• Output from Matlab – Results are displayed in the user’s browser – Necessary HTML can be created in Matlab as a string – Can use templates for generating output HTML

• Modification of configuration file – New applications should be registered with the server IPS LAB.

Input from user to Matlab • Input parameters to Matlab obtained from the web • Standard HTML forms can be used to obtain user input • HTML forms support input in the form of – Plain text – Pull down menus – Boolean operators (e.g.: HTML Radio buttons)

IPS LAB.

Output from Matlab • Results from Matlab are displayed in the user’s browser • Output HTML can be created as a Matlab string – Application m-file responsible for adding necessary HTML tags – Data from Matlab should be converted to appropriate form

• Use of HTML templates – Helper functions are provided to substitute the appropriate data into a template – Simpler to change the way results are displayed IPS LAB.

Sample Output HTML using templates Matlab over the web

IPS LAB.

Deploying OSU Matlab Portal • Core OSU Matlab components – Java Servlets and classes – Matlab m-files – Basic HTML web pages

• Software and Libraries required – Virtual Network Computing (VNC): Needed for providing Matlab with a virtual X-display – Kerberos clients – Tomcat servlet container – Java SDK – Apache Ant: Needed for compilation of Java source – C compiler IPS LAB.

Installing the OSU Matlab Portal • Shell scripts are provided to aid the installation of the portal • Shell script performs following functions: – Creating the necessary directory structure – Reading environment variables and modifying the Java source code accordingly – Compilation of all source code – All class files, Matlab m-files and configuration files are put into appropriate directories – Cleanup: Removal of intermediate files

IPS LAB.

Registering Portal Applications • Any new Matlab application to deployed must be registered with the portal • For this, a configuration file is provided: deploy.xml • deploy.xml contains: – – – –

Application name Input parameters expected and their names Database to used, if needed Application m – file name

IPS LAB.

Sample Configuration file deploy.xml dbvisual } 2 channel stop

IPS LAB.

Limitations • Matlab memory requirements – Each Matlab process uses 50 Mb RAM on startup – Memory used increases as more variables are created

• JavaScript and Applets needed for interacting with graphics – Disabling JavaScript removes all graphics interactivity

• Currently limited to Unix/Linux platforms

IPS LAB.

Future Work • Provide ability to upload and download data as well as Matlab code • Provide bulletin board for exchange of ideas, problem discussion, etc. • Develop administrator tools for portal – Make provisions for adding/removing users – Tools for portal administration

• Provide comprehensive documentation for the portal

IPS LAB.

Conclusion • The OSU Matlab Portal has more flexibility than the Matlab Web Server from MathWorks • Possible to create more interactive applications, e.g: zooming into images • Eliminates the need for each user to buy Matlab and all toolboxes • Less expensive alternative since it is based on freely available software/libraries

IPS LAB.

Additional Slides

IPS LAB.

Matlab Display Issues • When run as a background process, Matlab runs in the terminal emulation mode • Problems: – No X-Display available for Matlab – Cannot produce JPEG images directly – Representation of result data severely limited

• Solution: – Use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) – Matlab uses this X display for generating graphics

IPS LAB.

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) • Remote display system • Used to create a virtual desktops • This virtual desktop can be access from a variety of platforms (Unix/Linux, Windows, MacOS) • Has very small memory requirements • Web site: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

IPS LAB.

Input to Matlab from the Web • All Matlab applications deployed through the portal get input parameters from the user over the web • Names of parameters are specified in deploy.xml • The parameters are returned in the form of a structure paramStruct • All applications have access to this variable in the workspace • Applications must convert parameters from a string to appropriate format IPS LAB.

Example: Accessing input parameters • Consider an application with the following input parameters: – channel : string – start_time: integer – stop_time: integer

• User input over the web: – channel=‘engine_speed’ – start_time=10 – stop_time=40

IPS LAB.

Example (continued) • In Matlab, the parameters can be accessed as: channel_name = paramStruct.channel ; start = str2num ( paramStruct.start_time ) ; end = str2num ( paramStruct.stop_time ) ; • All parameters obtained over the web are available are accessed as strings in Matlab

IPS LAB.

Java Socket used by Matlab • Matlab uses Java sockets for communicating with the Servlet • Data obtained over the web and results to be sent back to the browser are obtained by Matlab using this socket • This socket uses Kerberos for secure communication with the Servlet

IPS LAB.

Sending Results to Browser • Applications are responsible for generating HTML required to display results in the user’s browser • Applications need only create the HTML in the form of a variable named html • This string will be sent back to the user’s browser by the Java socket

IPS LAB.

Generating Images from Matlab plots • Images to be displayed in the browser should be in the JPEG format • The Matlab ‘print’ function is used to print figures to JPEG images • Helper functions are provided for creating filenames, generating JPEG images and creating necessary HTML tags for displaying images

IPS LAB.
