I will first review the observational evidence relating dust emission and the energy production in the far-IR/submm range. This latter contains crucial information on the global baryons transformation and the related stellar activity in the Universe. Present knowledge on this topic relies mainly on the far-IR local surveys of IRAS and ISO missions and on submm/mm surveys performed with SCUBA and MAMBO arrays. Further constraints are provided by the measurements of the Cosmic far-IR Background (CFIRB). Our scanty knowledge of galaxy formation and evolution is mainly caused by the difficulties of unveiling stellar activity at redshifts larger than 1 and at present we may only have detected massive objects in a transient hyper-luminous phase. We still lack an unbiased census of the much more numerous population of lower luminosity dusty objects. It will soon be possible to disclose the entire history of evolving dusty objects, and therefore of the stellar activity, selecting unbiased samples out of far-IR imaging and photometry in deep far-IR surveys.
