The present state of our knowledge concerning the excitation mechanisms of β Cephei pulsation is reviewed. First we shall discuss whether or not oscillations of β Cephei stars can be explained by the conventional pulsation theory. After showing that the explanation by the conventional theory might be impossible, we shall discuss other specific excitation mechanisms suggested so far.
