                | Title | Cubical complexes, statistical topology and distributed computations |  
                | Abstract | At the beginning of my talk I will give an informal introduction 
                  to persistent homology. Later I will introduce a cubical complexes 
                  and
 discuss a bitmap representation of them. I will show how the 
                  bitmap
 can be used in efficient cutting and gluing of cubical complexes.
 Ability of cutting and gluing will lead us to a distributed 
                  quad-tree
 based implementation of computations of persistent homology. 
                  I will
 sketch the idea of the algorithm and its implementation.
 In the second part of my talk I will discuss my library called
 Persistence Landscape Toolbox. I will show how the basic algorithms
 used and present the main functionalists of the library that 
                  can be
 used in analysis of persistence diagrams obtained based on data 
                  from
 fluid dynamics computations.
 This talk do not require any prior knowledge of applied/computational 
                  topology.
