In this manuscript we briefly describe the main results of my PhD Thesis. This work was dedicated to study the formation and evolution of different kinds of planetary systems, both during the gaseous formation stage, which involves the first million years of life of a planetary system, and during the post-gas stage, in where the gravitational interactions between the proto-planets and planetesimals formed at the end of the first stage play a key role. We focused our analysis on the formation of rocky planets in the inner regions of the disk, particularly within the habitable zone, paying special attention to the water accretion processes and sources throughout the whole evolution of the systems. The main challenge of this project was to analyze the formation of planetary systems similar to our own with the aim of having a better understanding on how the Solar system could had formed combining different stages of planet formation.
