Program

Day 1: Friday, July 23
9:00-10:30	Introduction (Sergey Fomel)
	Description 1
10:30-10:45	break
10:45-12:15	Workflows in SCons and automatic testing (speaker 2)
	Description 2
12:15-1:15	Lunch
1:15-2:45	Seismic finite-difference modeling and migration example (Paul Sava)
	The theoretical part of this module provides an overview of reverse-time imaging methodology applied to wavefield seismic data. The main technique discussed is reverse-time migration with emphasis on modern imaging conditions which enable migration velocity analysis and amplitude-versus-angle analysis. The applied part demonstrates this technique on a complex geologic model using Madagascar codes in a fully reproducible setup.
2:45-3:00	break
3:00-4:30	Discussion
	Open Q&A session and discussions on the future development of Madagascar.
5:30-8:00	Dinner and Madagascar 1.0 celebration!
