Abstract
A method to construct Monte-Carlo event generators at arbitrarily non-leading order is explained for the case of a non-gauge theory. A precise and correct treatment of parton kinematics is provided. Modifications of the conventional formalism are required: parton showering is not exactly the same as DGLAP evolution, and the external line prescription for the hard scattering differs from the LSZ prescription. The prospects for extending the results to QCD are discussed.
