Preface

This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2005) held September 19–21, 2005 in Vienna, Austria. Previously, FroCoS was organized in Munich (1996), Amsterdam (1998), Nancy (2000) and Santa Margherita Ligure near Genoa (2002). In 2004, FroCoS joined IJCAR 2004, the 2nd International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2005 offered a common forum for the presentation and discussion of research results and activities on the combination, integration, analysis, modularization and interaction of formally defined systems, with an emphasis on logic-based ones. These issues are important in many areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, automated reasoning, constraint solving, declarative programming, and symbolic computation. There were 28 research papers submitted to FroCoS 2005, authored by researchers from 16 countries. After extensive reviewing and discussion within the Program Committee, 14 papers including two system descriptions were finally accepted for presentation at the conference and publication in this volume. The topics covered by the selected papers include: combinations of logics, theories, and decision procedures; constraint solving and programming; combination issues in rewriting and programming as well as in logical frameworks and
