Abstract: 

I will provide a description of the classical affine W-algebra W(g,f), where g is a classical Lie algebra and f is a nilpotent element of g, using the theory of generalized Adler type operators and of generalized quasideterminant. This allows to show that W(g,f) carries an integrable hierarchy of Lax type equations.Moreover, I will show how to recover all KdV type hierarchies constructed by Drinfeld and Sokolov in this framework.
