Summary note

Discusses recent advances in describing electronic surface excitation using time-dependent local density approximation, which is preferred because it provides a rather accurate method for describing ground-state properties of electronic systems, and treats the dynamical response in a manner consistent with the one employed for the ground state. Foc.
