Abstract
We study the transport properties of a large system of interacting particles moving on an integer lattice in the presence of a random field. This article contains a description of the problem, a survey of results, and an outline of our method. The results include variational formulas for the transport coefficients. The details of the proof of the hydrodynamic limit can be found in [15].
