The interaction of strong, short-pulse lasers with atoms, molecules, and clusters is an active area of atomic and molecular physics where both the fundamental characteristics of the reactions of matter to electromagnetic fields are investigated and applications of short pulse laser technology are pursued. At the conference, the future of coherence light sources using electron accelerators that will provide short pulses at much shorter wavelengths than are presently available was also discussed. Topics included are: atoms in strong fields, stabilizaton, double ionization--multi-electron calculations, high-order harmonics, molecules in strong fields, multiphoton processes in clusters, coherent control, and light sources, as well as relativistic effects.
