Ising spin-glass systems with long-range interactions (J(r) similar to r(-s
igma))are considered. A numerical study of the critical behaviour is presen
ted in the non-mean-field region together with an analysis of the probabili
ty distribution of the overlaps and of the ultrametric structure of the spa
ce of the equilibrium configurations in the frozen phase. Also. in the pres
ence of diverging thermodynamical fluctuations at the critical point the be
haviour of the model is shown to be of the replica symmetry breaking type a
nd there are hints of a non-trivial ultrametric structure. The parallel tem
pering algorithm has been used to simulate the dynamical approach to equili
brium of such systems.
