creator Thompson, Jennifer M. editor Chekanov, Sergei editor Sullivan, Zack This talk outlines the current status of Monte Carlo simulations in particle physics. It demonstrates the implementation of automated NLO contributions to matrix elements. The matching methods MC@NLO and POWHEG are outlined and results using various NLO tools are presented. The first plots from POWHEG showing the matching of NNLO matrix elements to the parton shower are also presented.
