Event Generators for Linear Collider Physics

I review the array of event generators which have been written to provide simulations of high-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} reactions. In this report, I have tried to summarize the array of programs that are now available to perform event generation for LC physics. These range from the general-purpose generators PYTHIA and HERWIG, to specific tools for super-symmetry and multi-fermion simulations, to tools for automatic generation of events for arbitrary physics processes. For the future, we expect to see trends toward object-oriented and modular programs, toward detailed high-accuracy computation of standard background processes, and toward further automation of complex calculations. We are well on the way to the level of accuracy and generality that will be needed for the LC physics program.
