The major recent advances in the modeling of multicomponent glasses concern
both the techniques (new angular potentials around different equilibrium a
ngles, more efficient treatment of the Ewald's sum, coupling between molecu
lar dynamics and reverse Monte Carlo to adjust pair potentials) and the kno
wledge of the glassy structures (evidences for a medium range order, studie
s of the interactions between the former and modifier networks). (C) 2001 E
