We discuss the correlation between late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies and the large scale structure of the local universe. This correlation has been proposed and studied in the literature as a probe of the dark energy and its physical properties. We consider a variety of large scale structure tracers suitable for a detection of the ISW effect via a cross-correlation. In addition to luminous sources, we suggest the use of tracers such as dark matter halos or galaxy clusters. A suitable catalog of mass selected halos for this purpose can be constructed with upcoming wide-field lensing and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect surveys. With multifrequency data, the presence of the ISW-large scale structure correlation can also be investigated through a cross-correlation of the frequency cleaned SZ and CMB maps. While convergence maps constructed from lensing surveys of the large scale structure via galaxy ellipticities are less correlated with the ISW effect, lensing potentials that deflect CMB photons are strongly correlated and allow, probably, the best mechanism to study the ISW-large scale structure correlation with CMB data alone.
