Description
The nature of dark matter and dark energy pose some of the most pressing questions in cosmology. To address these questions, a number of wide field surveys are ongoing or in the planning. I will describe the challenges which need to be met for the potential of these surveys to be fully realised, and discuss possible ways forward including the treatment of systematics and the development of fast high-precision algorithms.
