Abstract
In addition to information derived from spectrophotometric measurements of unresolved objects, observations at much increased angular resolution can provide constraints on new types of models of circumstellar media. Models of circumstellar envelopes of young or evolved stars are now quickly evolving because of developments in mathematics, new techniques and increased power of computers. The models will benefit greatly from the facilities of the VLT and the VLTI.
