One of the most challenging aspects of the next generation of sky surveys is the management of their Petabyte-scale datasets. This workshop will bring together astronomers defining the survey parameters, data centre staff responsible for curating current and future sky survey datasets, and computer scientists interested in applying new computational approaches to sky survey data management.
