=== Requirements ===
The  participants are required to <<HTML(<FONT color=red>)>>'''bring a laptop'''<<HTML(</FONT>)>>  (an external mouse will add to your comfort). In order to make the  session as efficient as possible, we ask  all the attendees to  <<HTML(<FONT color=red>)>>'''download, install and test'''<<HTML(</FONT>)>> the software and sample  dataset on their  laptops prior to the workshop.
