Computational aspects of bordered Floer homology

I will give a brief outline of bordered Floer homology, and explain how it can be used to describe aspects of Heegaard Floer homology. I will pay special emphasis on the branched double-covers of links in $S3$. This is joint work with Robert Lipshitz and Dylan Thurston.
