We review recent progress in the description and understanding of disoriented
chiral condensates. Certain important unsolved issues are underlined, and the
preliminary results of our program of investigation of these issues in the
framework of the classical linear sigma model are reported. We also briefly
review a formalism which could be useful at the full non-equilibrium quantum
field theory level of analysis.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex. Presented by G. Amelino-Camelia at the 10th
International Conference on Problems of Quantum Field Theory, Alushta,
