Using Mathlab with Ruby

Hi,
I am very new to Matlab and I don't know about all it's possibilities. I am analysing the possibilities of using Matlab externally from another program. Right now, our users are sending use a data set that we pass through a Matlab program. We are doing this manually, but we would liek to automatize the process.
I will build a website backend in Ruby and on the web interface, the user can upload a data file which I would like to pass to the Mathlab program via my Ruby programm and save the results.
I have seen that one can start Matlab as a Automation Server. Could I use this like an API to do what I want ?
Any help would be very useful.

I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago and haven't managed to do much with it.
You can also compile a matlab program into an executable, and interact with that via system calls. - Though it effectively starts matlab each time, before executing the program.

No. It means you need to install the compiler runtimes on the system you want to run the compiled code.
If you then compile a program (a function), and run it on that system, it'll take a long while loading stuff in before it runs the function you want it to run.
As for the automation server - I'm pretty certain that the server will need matlab installed.
