This article reviews our work on the description of electronic transport through self-assembled quantum dots. Our main interest is in the effect of Coulomb interaction on quantum dot charging (capacitance-voltage characteristics), on the average current (current-voltage characteristics), and on current fluctuations (quantum shot noise) in quantum dot layers embedded in pn- or resonant tunneling devices. Our studies show the particular importance of understanding those interaction mechanisms for future device applications.
