  We summarize the main results from MODEST-1, the first workshop on MOdeling
DEnse STellar systems. Our goal is to go beyond traditional population
synthesis models, by introducing dynamical interactions between single stars,
binaries, and multiple systems. The challenge is to define and develop a
software framework to enable us to combine in one simulation existing computer
codes in stellar evolution, stellar dynamics, and stellar hydrodynamics. With
this objective, the workshop brought together experts in these three fields, as
well as other interested astrophysicists and computer scientists. We report
here our main conclusions, questions and suggestions for further steps toward
integrating stellar evolution and stellar (hydro)dynamics.
