Using Scilab in the cloud.

There are several Scilab cloud servers.

We mention two that we used and whose screenshots are shown in running our power index calculators:

1)http://scilab-test.garudaindia.in/

This was the best Scilab cloud server we found for several reasons, including a) it also has graphics capabilities and b) users do not have to register a user account using a valid email address.  Use simply by typing or preferably pasting commands or Scilab routines from a notebook or text file.

2) http://hotcalcul.com/

While we do recommend this cloud server it does, however, require one to register a user account using a valid email address.  This cloud server performed best on the Android devices.

Using the 4 index calculator routines, Screenshots and Video demos

The actual Scilab routines for these 4 index calculators are provided in Appendix 1.  Detailed instructions on how to use them are found in Appendix 2.  Screenshots of using Scilab with these 4 power index routines, both using cloud servers and the standalone desktop version of Scilab are provided in Appendix 3

Two video demos are also available in Appendix 4.
