The main developments in the field of collective effect accelerators during the past decade are briefly reviewed and major progress since the 1979 Particle Accelerator Conference is discussed. Important advances were made in vacuum drift tubes with localized ion source and wave accelerators. Recent results of the successful acceleration of heavy ions at the University of Maryland are described.
