Since the {\tt KKMC} program was published for the first time over 20 years ago, it has gained popularity and was exploited in a broad spectrum of applications. The core part of the program itself did not change much. In contrast, some of…
PROPHECY4f is a Monte Carlo event generator for precise simulations of the Higgs-boson decay H -> WW/ZZ -> 4fermions, supporting leptonic, semileptonic, and four-quark final states. Both electroweak and QCD corrections are included.…

Some of the most arduous and error-prone aspects of precision resummed calculations are related to the partonic hard process, having nothing to do with the resummation. In particular, interfacing to parton-distribution functions, combining…
We briefly review the status of the multiple partonic interaction model in the Herwig++ event generator. First, we show how a change in the colour structure of an event in Herwig++ results in a significant improvement in the description of…
The Monte Carlo program {\tt WWGENPV}, designed for computing distributions and generating events for the four-fermion process $e^+ e^- \to W^+ W^- \to 4f$, is described. It is based on the calculation of the exact tree-level matrix element…

We discuss the present status of microscopic models for RHIC, with an emphasis on models being realized via the Monte Carlo technique. This review is to a large extent based on the OSCAR3 workshop, where general concepts and new trends in…
A sensible application of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) method is often hindered by the presence of large - or even infinite - potential barriers. These potential barriers separate the configuration space into distinct sectors and can lead…
Despite its many advantages, the sensible application of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) method is often hindered by the presence of large - or even infinite - potential barriers. These potential barriers partition the configuration space into…
