  In this talk, we discuss recent progress in the application of
generalizations of polylogarithms in the symbolic computation of multi-loop
integrals. We briefly review the Maple program MPL which supports a certain
approach for the computation of Feynman integrals in terms of multiple
polylogarithms. Furthermore we discuss elliptic generalizations of
polylogarithms which have shown to be useful in the computation of the massive
two-loop sunrise integral.
