In the two decades since the development of the first
eclipsing-binary modeling code, new analytic techniques and the
availability of powerful, sometimes dedicated computing facilities
have made possible vastly improved determinations of fundamental
and even transient stellar parameters. The scale of these
developments, of course, raises questions about modeling tools,
techniques, and philosophies, such as: Who will maintain and
upgrade the codes? Will the codes be open to improvement by
outsiders, and if so, how? And, indeed, what should be the goals of
a modeling program? Such questions had not been aired for a long
time and, for this reason alone, deserved to be discussed in as
general a forum as the community provides. This volume contains
material presented by Commission 42 (Close Binary Stars) during the
International Astronomical Union's XXI General Assembly in
Argentina, July 1991, and during IAU Colloquium 151, Cordoba,
Argentina, August 1991. The techniques discussed include
simulations of stellar bright and dark spots, streams, partial and
complete stellar disks, prominences, and other features
characterizing active stars; modeling of polarization parameters;
models that use radial velocities as well as line profile
simulations to model velocity field variation across stellar disks;
the weighted effects of brightness asymmetries; and models for
translucent eclipsing agents such as stellar winds.
