... Since GCVS IV, there was no new GCVS edition. ... Main reasons for the automatic-survey new variables remaining outside the GCVS for a long time:  different level of detail of the classification systems, no perfect software for automatic classification available;  individual approach to each star that was always used in the GCVS cannot be applied any longer, but the experience of automatically- updated catalogs evidences for the number of errors ...

... There are several classifications of the exact methods. ... A more physical classification is that of Th.Wriedt (1998) where he devides the methods in 3 groups: Mie theory expansions (SVM), surface-based (PMM, EBCM, GMT, MoM) and volume-based (FDTDM, TLMM, FEM and various volume IEMs - CDM, DDA, etc.) methods. Features of the methods . Among the methods only SVM and EBCM are capable to provide very accurate results (5 and more correct decimals) (Mishchenko et al., 2000). ... 1998) Part. ...
