Jan Winter, Stefan Hoeche, Hendrik Hoeth, Frank Krauss, Marek Schonherr, Steffen Schumann, Frank Siegert, Korinna Zapp

In this contribution, we will give a brief overview of the progress that has been achieved in the field of combining matrix elements and parton showers. We exemplify this by focusing on the case of electron--positron collisions and by reporting on recent developments as accomplished within the Sherpa event generation framework.
