DESCRIPTION:<span>Continuous fields play the role of bundles of C*-algebra
 s (in the sense of topology). The bundle structure that underlines a conti
 nuous fields is typically not locally trivial. <br> <br> We will start by 
 introducing various classes of examples. Thereafter\, we will discuss obst
 ructions to local triviality and give an introduction to topological invar
 iants such as parametrized K-theory. Finally\, we will present a generaliz
 ed Dixmier-Douady theory obtained in joint work with Ulrich Pennig.</span>
