# Totally dissipative dynamical processes and their uniform global attractors

• We discuss the existence of the global attractor for a family of processes $U_\sigma(t,\tau)$ acting on a metric space $X$ and depending on a symbol $\sigma$ belonging to some other metric space $\Sigma$. Such an attractor is uniform with respect to $\sigma\in\Sigma$, as well as with respect to the choice of the initial time $\tau\in R$. The existence of the attractor is established for totally dissipative processes without any continuity assumption. When the process satisfies some additional (but rather mild) continuity-like hypotheses, a characterization of the attractor is given.
