Review text

The paper discusses construction principles allowing the design of billiard systems which are hyperbolic. Special attention is given to billiards with convex pieces in the boundary, and also to `soft' billiards. Several examples, for which hyperbolicity had been established previously in the literature, are shown to be covered by the general framework.
