Where We Are and What Lies Ahead -- Numerical Experiments at Null Infinity -- Local Characteristic Algorithms for Relativistic Hydrodynamics -- Simulations of Generic Singularities in Harmonic Coordinates -- Some Mathematical and Numerical Questions Connected with First and Second Order Time-Dependent Systems of Partial Differential Equations.. - Causal relations, and with them the underlying null cone or conformal structure, form a basic ingredient in all general analytical studies of asymptotically flat space-time. The present book reviews these aspects from the analytical, geometrical and numerical points of view. Care has been taken to present the material in a way that will also be accessible to postgraduate students and nonspecialist reseachers from related fields.
