The talk introduces to SCILAB, and presents some examples from using this open source software for studies on modeling, control and numerical analysis. These examples cover several toolboxes on genetic algorithms, nonlinear PID controllers, and plant growth modeling. The examples demonstrate that Scilab is a powerful tool for research as well as education purpose. Finally, presents perspectives on open source movement in the world, particularly on its impact to the academic and education developments.
