Abstract: (arXiv)

The canonical quantization of

N=1

and

N=2

supergravity theories is reviewed in this report. A special emphasis is given to the topic of supersymmetric Bianchi class-A and FRW minisuperspaces, namely in the presence of supermatter fields. The quantization of the general theory (including supermatter) is also contemplated. The issue of quantum physical states is subsequently analysed. A discussion on further research problems still waiting to be addressed is included. An extensive and updated bibliography concludes this review.

Note:

50 pages, plain LaTeX, Topical Review for International Journal of Modern Physics-A, Revised version, style improved, new references and updated, some issues clarified
