The articles in this volume are revised versions of the best
papers presented at the Fifth Workshop on Languages and
Compilers for Parallel Computing, held at Yale University,
August 1992. The previous workshops in this series were held
in Santa Clara (1991), Irvine (1990), Urbana (1989), and
Ithaca (1988). As in previous years, a reasonable
cross-section of some of the best work in the field is
presented. The volume contains 35 papers, mostly by authors
working in the U.S. or Canada but also by authors from
Austria, Denmark, Israel, Italy, Japan and the U.K.
