Systems Engineering and Control teaching has a problem in common with other technical studies when distance learning is required: laboratory lectures. It is related to the studied concepts in the area and the requirement of using specific software tools (i.e. Matlab) and process.
This paper presents a global approach for the remote process simulation and real control using Matlab Web Server (MWS) tool. This work allows the execution of Matlab developed applications from any remote computer having a Web browser. The server obtains configuration parameters from a Web page and runs M-file Matlab programs. Once the simulation or the real process control has finished, MWS returns the output results to the remote computer through a new Web Page.
