This volume contains the proceedings of the five workshops, for a total of forty-seven high quality papers, which were selected by the programme committees of the workshops for presentation. The volume is organized as follows. Besides this overall presentation, each workshop has an introductory essay, authored by the organizers, which presents the workshop, lists the programme committee members and additional reviewers, the accepted papers with their authors, and the workshop sponsors. It is followed by the workshop papers.
