review text: In distinction to several other recent overviews of the theory of relational algebras [\textit{B. Jónsson}, Algebraic Logic, Pap. Colloq. Budapest 1988, Colloq. Math. Soc. János Bolyai 54, 245-292 (1991; Zbl 0760.03018); the author, Stud. Log. 50, No. 3-4, 421-455 (1991; Zbl 0754.03042); \textit{I. Németi}, ibid. 485-569 (1991; Zbl 0772.03033)], this one is centered on a few open problems that were presented at the Jónsson Symposium in 1990. Though the paper includes more than 30 references to related results, it is formally self-contained and may really serve as an introduction to the subject (the prospects of it).
