This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Extensions of Logic Programming, ELP '96, held in Leipzig, Germany in March 1996. The 18 full papers included were carefully selected by the program committee and are presented together with three invited papers. Among the topics addressed in this book are categorical logic programming, correctness of logic programs, functional-logic languages, implementation issues, linear logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning, and proof search.
