In the present review I will discuss certain rather general aspects of the theory, and will leave it to other speakers to describe the results of detailed calculations. Further references to recent work are given in the Report of IAU Commission 14.

1. Atomic Wave Functions and Energy Levels

In order to calculate data of importance for ultra-violet and X-ray astronomy - wavelengths, transition probabilities, collision cross-sections, ionization and recombination rates, and line-broadening parameters - it is necessary to begin with the calculation of atomic wave functions. The interest is mainly in highly ionized systems.
