Matlab WPS

Extension for the 52°North WPS to offer Matlab functions and scripts as OGC Web Processing Service processes.

Dependencies

• Matlab (R2013b and R2015a were tested)
• matlab-connector

Usage

Install Matlab and be sure it is in your $PATH. Start a socket server on the mashine running matlab:

java -jar matlab-connector-server-2.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -b /path/to/the/script/file

Create a YAML description of your function/script.

If you have a function like this:

function result=add(a,b)
    result = a + b

Your configuration may look like this:

---
title: add
function: add
abstract: adds two values
identifier: com.github.autermann.wps.matlab.add
inputs:
    - identifier: a
      title: first operand
      abstract: first operand
      type: double
    - identifier: b
      title: second operand
      abstract: second operand
      type: double
outputs:
    - identifier: result
      title: the result
      abstract: the result of the addition
      type: double
connection:
    host: localhost
    port: 7000
    attempts: 5
    timeout: 10000
...

The Matlab WPS configuration is currently hardcoded at com.github.autermann.wps.Main. A more convenient configuration is planned…

You can start the WPS with this command:

java -jar matlab-wps-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
