Abstract: Introduction
This survey describes a general approach to a class of problems that arise in combinatorial
probability and combinatorial optimization. Formally, the method is
part of weak convergence theory, but in concrete problems the method has a
flavor of its own. A characteristic element of the method is that it often calls
for one to introduce a new, infinite, probabilistic object whose local properties
inform us about the limiting properties of a sequence of finite problems.
