Abstract: (AIP)
We give an overview of ongoing searches for effects motivated by the study of the quantum‐gravity problem. We describe in greater detail approaches which have not been covered in recent “Quantum Gravity Phenomenology” reviews. In particular, we outline a new framework for describing Lorentz invariance violation in the Maxwell sector. We also discuss the general strategy on the experimental side as well as on the theoretical side for a search for quantum gravity effects. The role of test theories, kinematical and dymamical, in this general context is emphasized. The present status of controlled laboratory experiments is described, and we also summarize some key results obtained on the basis of astrophysical observations.- 04.60.-m
