DESCRIPTION:The planar soap bubble problem looks for the least-perimeter c
 onfiguration of planar curves enclosing regions Ri of prescribed areas ai\
 , with i=1\,\,n. It is known that these minimizing configurations satisfy 
 Plateaus laws. However\, in the most general setting\, the regions in a mi
 nimizing configuration might not be connected\, and so some area ai could 
 be enclosed by a region Ri with several components. This is the main diffi
 culty of this problem\, since a lot of configurations have to be taken int
 o account. In this talk\, we will review the main results obtained for thi
 s problem\, and discuss new directions for attacking it.\n
