This review of the conference will necessarily consider the seismological data implications for only stellar astrophysics. While there are some aspects of this conference that interface with subjects like relativity, gravity, stellar systems, studies of chaos, etc., these will not be discussed here. What we are doing here is discussing the interiors of stars. We want to learn about their masses and composition structures. Pulsation periods can be used to measure stellar mean densities. Further details that seem accessible are the solar rotation speed versus depth and latitude and the structure of both solar and stellar atmospheres.

Most of the contributions at this conference dealt with the hard problems of our understanding oscillations of the sun. As we shall see in many cases, the problems in understanding the stars by observing their pulsation periods are even more difficult. Similarities and differences between helioseismology and asteroseismology will be a principal theme of this review.
