Bordered Floer homology: bimodules and computations

We will review the structure of bordered Floer homology, including how it depends on the parametrization of the boundary. We will then discuss how to compute it, and consequently another algorithm for computing HF-hat. This is work in progress with Peter Ozsvath and Dylan Thurston.
