Most of us researchers have no doubt dealt with either libraries or software that requires a number of steps and dependencies to be installed before they can be used. This process is rarely as easy as the user manuals make it to be. Docker can be the solution to this both as a consumer and producer of software. Docker gives you the ability to ensure that users of your software are running an identical setup to that specified by you in the docker file easing the barrier of entry to the use of such software.

In this seminar we will discuss what are docker containers, what is the difference between containers and virtual machines, how to create your own docker container and more.

The Data Science Research Platform (DSRP) at the University of Malta conducts research in the interdisciplinary field of data science. The scope of the group is to use signal processing, machine learning and statistics to develop innovative techniques and to extract useful knowledge from various data sources in an effective manner to benefit the wider public.
