[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00026.] The purpose of this paper is to give an exposition of some of the results in recent papers by Powers and the author, and some speculations arising from these results. We do not always present results in the fullest generality in which they are known. Our main motivation for this study is \textit{R. T. Powers'} paper [Can. J. Math. 40, No. 1, 86-114 (1988; Zbl 0632.46058)] on \(*\)-endomorphisms on operator algebras. Although Powers considered both discrete and continuous semigroups of \(*\)-endomorphisms, we concentrate here on the former. For an overview of both Powers', and \textit{W. B. Arveson's} beautiful work on index theory for continuous semigroups of \(*\)-endomorphisms, one may consult Arveson's paper [Pac. J. Math. 137, No. 1, 19-36 (1989; Zbl 0681.46057)].
