Interactive interfaces offer several advantages. First, they are easy to use because they completely free the user from any code writing. Second, the user still can exploit the power of software libraries. Third, they provide good performance by capitalizing on standard tools like MATLAB. Let us assume, for instance, that MATLAB is installed on one machine on the local network. It is possible to use NetSolve via the MATLAB interface on this machine and in fact use the computational power of another more powerful machine where MATLAB is not available.
The current implementation of NetSolve contains two interactive interfaces.
