The interaction of the outflowing solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is complicated by many factors--the solar wind itself is a highly dynamical medium, interstellar neutral atoms can interact with the heliospheric boundaries in a complex fashion and the solar wind can be decelerated via mass-loading associated with pick-up ions, for example. Anomalous and galactic cosmic rays besides being modulated by the solar wind, may react back on the heliospheric boundaries leading to possibly significant structural modifications. These and other factors suggest that the physics of the outer heliosphere is strongly influenced by the properties of the very LISM and is quite different from the physics of the inner heliosphere. In this talk, we will try to synthesize the many recent developments in modelling the outer heliosphere and boundaries, encompassing both local and global models. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying those aspects of the various models which have observational implications.
