Preface The Fifth International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2003) was held in New Orleans on 13–14 January 2003. It was colocated with the 30th Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2003). We received 57 submissions, a record for PADL. One of the strengths of PADL is that it draws papers from both sides of the declarative divide, from both the functional and logic programming communities. Of the 57 submissions, 25 were functional and 32 were logical, with some notable overlaps. The program committee was divided on the approach to take to the conference. Those from the logic programming community preferred to have parallel sessions in order to accept more papers, those from the functional programming community preferred to avoid parallel sessions though it meant accepting fewer papers. We decided to find strength in diversity, and experiment with taking both paths. We accepted 8 papers on functi
