SS5 session will cover the challenges and current state faced by radio astronomy in handling large data volumes, and technical solutions and applications within and outside astronomy. Our main aim is to bring together different communities (e.g. astrophysics,
high-energy physics, research institutes, industry) to discuss current tools and ideas for the future development of data management. This meeting will enhance our knowledge-bank through various different approaches to tackle the challenges that current and
future (SKA) radio telescopes are facing.</span></p>
