  Over the past decades automated debugging has seen major achievements.
However, as debugging is by necessity attached to particular programming
paradigms, the results are scattered. To alleviate this problem, the Automated
and Algorithmic Debugging workshop (AADEBUG for short) was organised in 1993 in
Link"oping (Sweden). As this workshop proved to be successful, subsequent
workshops have been organised in 1995 (Saint-Malo, France), 1997 (again in
Link"oping, Sweden) and 2000 (Munich, Germany). In 2003, the workshop is
organised in Ghent, Belgium, the proceedings of which you are reading right
now.
