Quantum Chromodynamics and Particle Interactions

Physics assumptions and models implemented in modern Monte Carlo simulation codes for hadronic cosmic ray interactions are reviewed. Concepts of extrapolating to highest cosmic ray energies are discussed and shortcomings of the different model assumptions are emphasized.
