DESCRIPTION:<span>Continuous fields&nbsp\; play the role of bundles of C*-
 algebras (in the  sense of topology). The bundle structure that underlines
  a continuous  fields is typically not locally trivial. <br><br>We will st
 art by introducing various classes of examples. Thereafter\, we will discu
 ss obstructions to local triviality and give an introduction<br> to topolo
 gical invariants such as parametrized K-theory. Finally\, we will present 
 a generalized Dixmier-Douady theory obtained in joint work with Ulrich Pen
 nig.</span><br>
