Important Dates15 January 2012: Registration close.29 February 2012: Workshop starts. RationaleThe Gaia launch day is around the corner. We are excited by the unprecedented accuracy and amount of the data that Gaia will provide us. Furthermore, the ground-based chemodynamical spectroscopy survey projects progress strongly and will add more values to the Gaia data. To extract the maximum useful information about Galaxy dynamics and formation from the enormous data set, the generation and elaboration of theoretical models are crucial. A question is: ”are we ready?” Gaia will produce the unprecedentedly large amount of the data for order of billion stars with many dimensions of information. The accuracy of the information of each dimension could be fairly inhomogeneous, depending on distance, population, location in the sky due to the dust extinction, crowding and so on, i.e. there will be a complicated observational ”selection function”. On the other hand, theoretical models are never like the real Galaxy, and some simplification and/or coarse sampling are always applied. To quantitatively compare such theoretical models with the upcoming Gaia data, we need to be well prepared and exercises with a Gaia mock catalogue will be crucial for the theorists. The workshop will discuss how we would like to access and use the Gaia catalogue for Galaxy modelling. We invite 3 types of participants (some may work for both A and B);
