The fourth and the ?fth workshopswereorganizedinTarragona, Spain, in July2003, andin Milan, Italy, in June 2004, with the proceedings published as volumes 2933 and 3365, resp- tively, of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The pre-proceedingsof WMC6 were published by the Institute for Computer Languages of the Vienna University of Technology, and they were available d- ing the workshop. Conforming with tradition, this workshop, too, was a lively scienti?c event, with many questions and engaged discussions following pres- tations of papers.
