title: Octave/Matlab solution for analyzing data coming from network
body: <p>I am currently doing some research which involves analyzing data coming from different sensors. The way the data is provided is via a network interface. I want to take advantage of the already written procedures available in matlab/octave (error computing, plotting etc). </p>
  
  <p>Which one is the best approach for doing such things:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>doing an application in another language and call octave/matlab functions with data received from network?</li>
  <li>doing an application in octave/matlab which handles incoming data from network interface?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>Any other solutions and experiences are highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
  
  <p>Iulian</p>
  
  <p><strong>LATER EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am more interested in using octave than matlab but currently I'm looking to see a working method.</p>
