IAU Symposium 362 — The predictive power of computational astrophysics as a discovery tool

The Symposium will focus on computational methods applied to speed up and broaden the scope of scientific studies, such as finding trends from observational data, high performance computing, automated search algorithms, and model predictability. The meeting will bring together experts to discuss a palette of challenging informational and technical developments, including hardware and software but always focused on astronomical applications.

Topics: Strong gravity - Large-scale structure, galaxy formation and evolution - Star formation and the interstellar medium - Stellar evolution, - Solar & exo-planet systems - New computational tools and data mining
