This volume contains the proceedings of the fifth
International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms (WDAG '91)
held in Delphi, Greece, in October 1991. The workshop
provided a forum for researchers and others interested in
distributed algorithms, communication networks, and
decentralized systems. The aim was to present recent
research results, explore directions for future research,
and identify common fundamental techniques that serve as
building blocks in many distributed algorithms.
The volume contains 23 papers selected by the Program
Committee from about fifty extended abstracts on the basis
of perceived originality and quality and on thematic
appropriateness and topical balance. The workshop was
organizedby the Computer Technology Institute of Patras
University, Greece.
