Large area sky surveys are now a reality in the radio, IR, optical
and X-ray passbands. In the next few years, new surveys using
optical, UV and IR mosaic cameras with high throughput digital
detectors will expand the dynamic range and accuracy of photometry
and astrometry of objects over a significant fraction of the entire
sky. Parallel X-ray and radio surveys over the same areas will
produce astronomical image and spectroscopic databases of
unprecedented size and quality. The combined data sets will provide
significant new constraints on star formation, stellar dynamics,
Galactic structure, the evolution of galaxies and large scale
structure, as well as new opportunities to identify rare objects in
the solar system and the Galaxy. Large area surveys have formidable
data acquisition, processing, archiving, and data distribution
demands and this meeting provided a forum for sharing experiences
amongst workers specializing in different wavebands as well as
discussing how multiband observations can reveal fundamental
relationships in our understanding of the Universe.
