Abstract
What the session could be guessed to be and what the session actually is. This report first provides a brief review of the problems which still need research, development or, more simply, a theoretical systematization. The conference contributions, then, emphasize which is the real problem of current general interest: how to make a good use of numerical simulation techniques.
