The discovery of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) in 1996, together with
recent cosmological surveys from the mid-infrared to the millimeter have
revolutionized our view of star formation at high redshifts. It has become
clear, in the last decade, that a population of galaxies that radiate most
of
their power in the far-infrared (the so-called ``infrared galaxies'')
contributes an important part of the whole galaxy build-up in the Universe.
Since 1996, detailed (and often painful) investigations of the high-redshift
infrared galaxies have resulted in the spectacular progress reviewed in this
paper. Among others, we emphasize a new Spitzer result based on a Far-IR
stacking analysis of mid-IR sources.
