  ABSTRACT: I present predictions for the angular correlation function and redshift distribution for SHADES, the SCUBA HAlf-Degree Extragalactic Survey, which will yield a sample of around 300 sub-mm sources in the 850 micron waveband in two separate fields. Predictions have been computed for a wide variety of models, each constrained to fit the observed number counts. Since we are dealing with around 150 sources per field, we use the sky-averaged angular correlation function to produce a more robust fit of a power-law shape to the model data. We find that models can be constrained from the combined final SHADES dataset provided that redshifts, even with relatively large uncertainties, are available for the vast majority of sources.
