Rationale:

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the most powerful mm/submm facility with high angular resolution imaging capability coupled with unprecedentedly high sensitivity, has been producing a growing number of impressive and compelling results.
It is also evident that many outstanding ALMA results often rely on wide area surveys using existing ground-based and space telescopes such as Nobeyama, Nanten, IRAM, JCMT, CSO, Mopra, SPT, ASTE, APEX, Spitzer, AKARI, Herschel, and so on, emphasizing the importance of next generation large mm/submm survey telescopes, which will have large FoV (> 0.5 deg) and large instantaneous frequency coverage with large format bolometer/heterodyne arrays, to exploit ALMA capabilities.

The goals of the workshop are (1) to explore the astrophysical potential of such next generation large single dish telescopes at mm/submm wavelengths, (2) to share current status of running and planned mm/submm telescopes such as LMT, GLT, CCAT, and LST,
(3) to discuss about state-of-the-art technologies of detectors/receivers/telescopes, which shall be essential for the next generation mm/submm telescopes, and (4) to discuss about the synergies with related survey missions at other wavelengths such as Subaru, TAO, SPICA, WISH, and SKA.

The scientific topic includes a wide range of astrophysics, including cosmology, the Galaxy and galaxies, super-massive black holes, star-formation, ISM, astrochemistry, magnetic fields, etc. Emphasis is also placed on time-domain science; fast radio bursts, Gamma-ray bursts, super novae, gravitational wave objects will be discussed.

The workshop will consist of invited/keynote talks and contributed talks.
