Let \(C\) be a geometrically integral algebraic curve defined over \({\mathbb Q}\). The last fifteen year we have seen a great progress in the determination of the set of rational points of \(C\). This paper discuss the state of the art of this problem. It mainly deals with curves of genus \(\geq 2\) which have a finite set of rational points. The focus is on the computational aspects of this problem.
