Is it possible to call Matlab from Java asynchronously ?

Hi, I am aware of utilities like https://code.google.com/archive/p/matlabcontrol/wikis/Walkthrough.wiki where you can call a Matlab function from Java. But is it possible to call Matlab asynchronously? I mean you call a Matlab function, but the catch is that it has no return arguments, it just does whatever it is intended to do. After the function is called, Matlab just does what is does, and control is given back to Java immediately (without waiting for said function to complete). Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much :)

See e.g. http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html for starting a process in Java. Then provide the function to be run using the -r flag:

"matlab.exe -r YourFunction"
