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.
