To aid with reproducibility, this artefact includes all of the source code used in
generating the results described in this paper, alongside a Makefile that describes and
performs the process of performing the experiments, processing and graphing the results,
and producing the paper.

To generate the paper, the following dependencies must be installed:

	- FFmpeg (3.4.2)
	- Python (2.7)
	- R (3.4.3) and packages (rkvo, ggplot2, data.table)
	- Vagrant (2.0.2)
	- VirtualBox (5.2.6r120293)
	- xz (5.2.3)

Building the paper using the Makefile provided may take several days. Appendix A of the
paper (https://doi.org/10.1145/3204949.3204959) describes the various stages of the
build process, alongside estimates of how long they may take on typical hardware.
