WELCOME!

A new dawn in astronomy is upon us: With the advance of ‘Big Data’ large-scale surveys and similarly record-breaking simulations, the traditional divisions between computational astrophysics and observational astronomy are eroding, and at the nexus is exciting new science and possibilities.

In the era of exascale computing, what new science and perspectives will the marriage of simulations and Big Data bring? And how do we prepare for it? lay the ground work for the infrastructure? prepare the community? What are the challenges and the opportunities that arise at the interface between simulations and Big Data? These are timely questions that will be addressed in this focus meeting.
