  A summary is given on the main aspects which were discussed by the working
group. They include new results on the deep inelastic scattering structure
functions $F_2, xF_3, F_L$ and $F_2^{c\bar{c}}$ and their parametrizations, the
measurement of the gluon density, recent theoretical work on the small $x$
behavior of structure functions, theoretical and experimental results on
$\alpha_s$, the direct photon cross section, and a discussion of the event
rates in the high $p_T$ range at Tevatron and the high $Q^2$ range at HERA, as
well as possible interpretations.
