Lattice calculations of heavy quark systems provide very good measures of the lattice spacing, a key element in recent determinations of the strong coupling constant using lattice methods. They also provide excellent testing grounds for…
I review some of the contributions which lattice simulations are likely to make during the next five years or so to the development of our understanding of particle physics. Particular emphasis is given to the evaluation of non-perturbative…
