A set $\Lambda \subset R^d$ is called self-affine if there is a 
finite list
$F:=\{f_1(x)=A_1\cdot x + t_1, \dots ,f_m(x)=A_m\cdot x + t_m\}$
of contracting affine transformations  such that $\Lambda $ can be 
presented as the union of its on affine copies with these affine maps: 
$\Lambda =\bigcup_{i=1}^{n}f_i(\Lambda )$. In this case we say
that $\Lambda $ is the attractor of 
the self-affine Iterated Function System  $F$.
Falconer-Solomyak Theorem says that in those cases when  all the linear parts contract
stronger than $1/2$ for almost all $t_1, \dots ,t_m \in R^{m\cdot d}$ the 
Hausdorff dimension of $\Lambda $ is equal to the so called singularity 
dimension, which is actually the number that we obtain from the definition
of the Hausdorff dimension if we use the most natural system of covers. 
The same is known to be false if we drop the assumption: $\forall i,\ 
\|A_i\|<1/2$. 
Actually we know very little about the dimension theory of self-affine IFS. To 
make some progress in 2006 we (T. Jordan, M. Pollicott, K. Simon) introduced a 
random IFS which is obtained from the deterministic self-affine IFS in 
such a way that at each application of the system we add an arbitrary 
small random error independently. We obtain a random IFS that is called almost
self-affine system. 
In this talk I give a review about the dimension theory of almost self-affine 
sets andmeasures.  I also review some recent results about the multifractal 
analysis of some almost self-affine measures.
