Abstract: In this talk I will summarize the semi-analytical technique for populating with galaxies the simulated dark matter haloes. I will describe describe the characteristics of the model we have developed within the past year and then I will talk about two applications: i) The effect that the choice of stellar evolution models has over the predicted evolution of the luminosity function of galaxies; ii) The study of pairwise velocity of isolated galaxy pairs as a first step toward using them as a cosmological test.
