The papers dealing with the inverse heat conduction problems are being reviewed. The concerns the following problems: to find a solution of an initial-boundary value problem outside the region determined by the boundary with prescribed conditions. The linear and nonlinear as well as one- arid two-dimensional problems are discussed. Also some inverse problems of the coupled fields are briefly presented. In the last part of the review some new aspects and approaches to the problems as well as the possibilities of application of their solutions are given.
