Solutions of their associated systems of Sato equations are characterized in terms of correlation functions of supersymmetric vertex operators of superghost type. The expression of the wave functions of these hierarchies in terms of tau-functions is obtained and the corresponding bilinear identities are established. Explicit methods for generating soliton and rational solutions are given. %~
