socket programming in MATLAB?

Question

Answer 1

There are several possibilities without any extra toolboxes, depending on your specific needs. Check the Matlab help about external interfaces for details. For high performance, mexing a custom C communication is probably your best option. Using shared files on a network storage would be an alternative that is easier to implement but less effective, especially if you need frequent communication.
