This volume contains the proceedings of RTA-93, the fifth International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, held in Montreal, Canada, in June 1993. The volume includes three invited lectures, "Rewritetechniques in theorem proving" (L. Bachmair), "Provingproperties of typed lambda terms: realizability, covers, andsheaves" (J. Gallier), and "On some algorithmic problems forgroups and monoids" (S.J. Adian), together with 29 selectedpapers, 6 system descriptions, and a list of open problemsin the field. The papers covermany topics: term rewriting; termination;graph rewriting; constraint solving; semantic unification, disunification and combination; higher-order logics; andtheorem proving, with several papers on distributed theoremproving, theorem proving with constraints and completion.
