Intended audience:

Users: All users and potential users of the NCRR software suite. We assume at least a moderate level of familiarity with bioelectric field problems, a rudimentary knowledge of Unix/Linux, but no
programming expertise.

Developers: developers should be comfortable with C/C++ programming, competent Unix/Linux users, and have a basic knowledge of bioelectric field problems. Knowledge of Tcl/Tk, emacs, and XML are all useful but not required to benefit from the workshop.

Computers:

We have a modest number of seats available for workshop participants to use during hands-on sessions. We encourage participants to bring a laptop running either Linux or Mac OSX on which we will install BioPSE/SCIRun for use during the workshop and afterwards.

Minimal machine configurations:

Linux Kernel 2.2.17
GCC 2.95.3 (better to have 3.1)
700 MHz Pentium 3
256 MB RAM
~2 GB disk space
NVIDIA GeForce3 (drivers: 1.0-1541), XFree86 V4.1.0

Scholarships:

We will offer two scholarships up to $1000 each to students attending the workshop. To apply for a scholarship, please send a brief description of yourself, your education, a letter of support from an academic advisor, and a description of what you intend to use BioPSE/SCIRun to do.
