The organization and selection committee included R. The meeting was co-presided by Robert DAUTRAY, from the French Academy of Sciences and Paul ROBINSON, associate director (LANL), and was honoured by the effective participation of Professor Nicholas METROPOLIS, one of the pioneers in the field, who delivered a lecture on the "beginnings and great expectations" of the Monte-Carlo methods. The whole set of lectures of this meeting has proved that Monte-Carlo methods have reached the level of scientific maturity which makes them a useful tool for a wide range of applications. The discussion on variance reduction techniques was fruitfu] and even fascinating. It is also worth noting the success of the poster sessions, and particularly the one devoted to benchmark calculations: four different groups of people have tried to compare their results and methods on some difficult problems. To illustrate this, let us point out the two papers about the design of specialized computers for Monte-Carlo algorithms. The success of this meeting proves that there is still much future in Monte-Carlo methods. The purpose of the Conference was to review the state of the art and future trends of Monte-Carlo methods in physics. About one hundred participants came from both laboratories and from other associated French companies (CISI,'FRAMATOME).
