This paper reviews the major discussions and conclusions of the Flares
22 Workshop concerning the physical processes involved in mass ejecta
events, with an emphasis on large-scale phenomena, especially Coronal
Mass Ejections (CMEs). New insights have been gained from recent data
obtained from the SMM and Yohkoh spacecraft and from several new grou
nd-based radio and optical instruments, as well as from theoretical ad
vances concerning the origins, driving mechanisms and long-term evolut
ion of CMEs.
