Abstract
The enormous amounts of observational data that will become available once various observational projects are operative, will imply a considerable advance in our understanding of the physical processes involved in the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, this advance will only be made possible if, at the same time, theoretical models to unify data interpretation are developed. To this end, we have developed numerical codes to study these complex processes, in connection with the global cosmological model and self-consistently. In this talk we report on a sample of galaxy-like objects formed in our numerical simulations, focusing on their structural and dynamical properties that can be constrained from observations. We describe and dicuss different aspects of their evolution and, particularly, some of their properties at high z.
