DESCRIPTION:Following the first direct observation of gravitational waves 
 from a pair of merging black holes in September 2015\, we are now entering
  the era of gravitational-wave astronomy\, where gravitational waves are i
 ncreasingly being used as a tool to explore topics ranging from astronomy 
 (stellar and binary evolution) to fundamental physics (tests of the genera
 l theory of relativity). Future progress depends on addressing several key
  problems in statistical inference on gravitational-wave observations\, in
 cluding (i) rapidly growing computational cost for future instruments\; (i
 i) noise characterisation\; (iii) model systematics\; and (iv) model selec
 tion.
