LiCoRICE (Linux Comodular Realtime Interactive Computation Engine) is an open-source, model-based design software tool for running (soft) realtime applications. It was developed for systems neuroscience research to collect, process, and output neuroelectrophysiology data with empirically guaranteed millisecond timings. Given its general purpose nature, LiCoRICE can also be used to process audio in realtime, control lighting elements, or for robotics applications. In this workshop, participants will learn about realtime basics; how to install LiCoRICE; and will run a realtime application that records, modifies, and outputs an audio stream in realtime.

Over the past several decades, the scientific process has relied more and more on computational analysis of data to produce digital artifacts. Fields like molecular biology, neuroscience, linguistics, and astrophysics, to name a few, have been revolutionized by this trend to the point that computational workflows are ubiquitous. Although most of these workflows are very similar at a high level - collecting data, analyzing it with code, and publishing the resulting figures - implementation details differ widely.
While there exist standards such as the FAIR Guiding Principles for organizing and sharing data, there are not widely adopted standards for reliably regenerating analyses from said data, especially across compute environments. This talk presents an open framework for archived, reproducible, and transparent science (ARTS) that aims to do exactly this - by packaging data, code, and figures in containers and uploading it to a persistent, trusted, and accessible archive.
