The production and structure of jets observed in heavy-ion collisions differs in a characteristic way from those in proton-proton collisions. While the latter are theoretically well under controlled, jet evolution in the presence of strongly interacting matter is presently not fully understood. Due to the complexity of the problem and the recent experimental progress Monte Carlo models are becoming an important theoretical as well as experimental tool. I will discuss the theoretical challenges and give an overview over the approaches taken by different groups with emphasis on the JEWEL code.
