Abstract
Emission experiments, performed at NIST and the Ruhr-University Bochum, hav e provided sensitive tests of recent atomic structure calculations. Somewha t surprisingly numerous large discrepancies have been found between experim ent and theory, and also between different sophisticated calculations. Some systematic trends for these large differences show up and are reviewed.
