  "abstract": "The present status of extensive air shower (EAS) simulation procedures is reviewed. The advantages of combining numerical and Monte Carlo methods for the description of EAS development are discussed. Physics content of cosmic ray interaction models is briefly described and their predictions are compared to the first LHC data. Finally, some outstanding puzzles related to cosmic ray composition at the \"ankle\" energies are analyzed.",
