  2. The role of simulations

Abstract

I will deliver a short introduction to CMB data analysis, focusing on the timeline to map processing. I will discuss schemes to minimize the impact of systematic effect and discuss the role of simulations, providing examples in the context of Planck and future all-sky polarization surveys.
