This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations, LSSC 2005, held in Sozopol, Bulgaria in June 2005. The 75 revised full papers presented together with five invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections.
