Overview and Outlook

Abstract

This report is based on the talk given by the author in the concluding session of the workshop on Canonical Methods in Classical and Quantum General Relativity, held a Bad-Honef, Germany, in September 93. It contains an assessment of the canonical approach in general, an overview of recent developments within the canonical approach based on connections and loops, and some suggestions for future work.
