✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation, LOPSTR'95, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands in September 1995.
The 19 papers included were selected from 40 workshop submissions; they offer a unique up-to-date account of the use of formal synthesis and transformation techniques for computer-aided development of logic programs. Among the topics addressed are deductive and inductive program synthesis, synthesis models based on constructive type theory, program specification, program analysis, theorem proving, and applications to various types of programs.
