Currently, in the context of quasi-Monte Carlo applications, the most effec
tive low-discrepancy point sets and sequences are digital (t, m, s)-nets an
d (t, s)-sequences. In this survey we will consider ideas for the investiga
tion of a new quality parameter reflecting projections of digital nets and
sequences. Finally we will give several examples for commonly used digital
point sets. (C) 2001 IMACS. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
