1 From Apps to Web Services: Deploying Your Algorithms and Applications Marta Wilczkowiak The MathWorks, Inc.

2 Why deploy your algorithms? Raise awareness of your work Reduce duplication of efforts Serve your customers better Reduce errors caused by reimplementation Accelerate development cycle by avoiding recoding 2

3 Deployment considerations Where would the algorithm live and how it will interface with the world? Will the end user need and have access to? Will the product be standalone or a part of larger system? Will many users need to access this functionality at the same time? What is the performance requirement? What product features are required? 3

8 Compiler and Builders Compiler Builder EX Builder JA Builder NE.exe.dll/.lib Excel Add-in Java www COM.NET Generic CTF 8

9 Application Virtual Machine Concept Various language implementations Source Code Encrypted Code Compiler Execute.NET Source Code.NET Byte Code Visual Studio Compiler Execute Java Source Code Java Byte Code JAVAC Execute Compiler Runtime (MCR) Microsoft Common Language Runtime (CLR) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 9

10 Compiler Product Summary Automatically packages your programs as standalone applications and software components Supports full language and most toolboxes Allows royalty-free deployment 10

11 Compiler and Builders What s new? Improvements for all phases of application deployment Compiling apps greatly improved usability provided by a toolstrip user interface Distributing apps customization options create a more professional software experience Installing apps faster and more reliable download and installation of Compiler Runtime (MCR) 11

12 Compiling Apps App and User Interface Changes Two new apps for deployment Application and Library Both apps utilize tool strip style user interface Automatic download of runtime (MCR) Ensures end user has correct version for their platform 12

13 Distribution and Installation Improved End Customer Experience Icon Customizable Installer Splash Screen Application in Start Menu 13

14 Deployment options Apps Complier Standalone applications Software modules Production Server Coder C 14

15 Production Server Directly deploy programs into production Centrally manage multiple programs & MCR versions Automatically deploy updates without server restarts Production Server(s) Scalable & reliable Service large numbers of concurrent requests Add capacity or redundancy with additional servers Use with web, database & application servers Lightweight client library isolates processing Access programs using native data types Web Server(s) HTML XML Java Script 15

16 Compiler vs Production Server Source Code Source Code.NET Execute Package Package Component Execute Component Request Broker & Program Manager Compiler Runtime (MCR) 16

17 What is Production Server? Enterprise class framework for running packaged programs.net Lightweight client library (for.net & Java) Request programs (functions) Server software Manages packaged programs & worker pool Component Request Broker & Program Manager Runtime libraries Compiler Runtime (MCR) 17
