MathLink is your friend:

"MathLink provides a general interface for external programs to 
communicate with Mathematica. Many standard software systems now have 
MathLink compatibility either built in or available in add-on modules.

In addition, the MathLink Developer Kit bundled with most versions of 
Mathematica provides the tools you need to create your own 
MathLink-compatible programs.

Once you have a MathLink-compatible program, you can transparently 
establish a link between it and Mathematica.

The link can either be on a single computer, or it can be over a 
network, potentially with a different type of computer at each end."
