Overview
-- The volume probed by cosmological surveys is growing rapidly, - while the sensitivity of CMB experiments is likewise - increasing the fidelity with which secondary anisotropies can be - used as cosmological probes. Computational modeling of the sky, - in the form of mock catalogs and simulated observations, is - becoming a part of the analysis process itself, with a wide - range of techniques and approaches being developed. -
-- The goal of the meeting is to bring together experts on modeling - large scale structure observations and discuss and compare different - approaches to determine the specific desired properties of simulated - data for a given large scale survey simulation, as well as to identify - those elements common to multiple probes for the same underlying large - scale structure. -
