Scientific Rationale:
These recent years have witnessed the development of large
simulations and sophisticated semi-analytic models, which allow us to
monitor in detail the evolving properties of galaxies as a function
of their assembly history and environment. At the same time, the
advent of large observational surveys has granted a robust
multiwavelength insight in the physics of galaxies across their whole
variety. This is the ideal time to bring together theoreticians and
observers, in order to critically evaluate our knowledge of the
processes driving galaxy evolution. This splinter meeting provides a
forum for presenting and discussing the latest results on how well
observations and theory converge at redshift zero, and developing
strategies to better match the virtual with the real universe.
